Get to know Jose
Jose was on his way to a professional baseball career when injuries changed his path after college. With a love for the game, Jose still plays baseball every week and will likely do so until he can’t stay in the catcher’s position for an entire inning! When he is not playing baseball, Jose enjoys cooking and spending time with his wife and family. For retirement, Jose sees himself cruising the country in an RV—likely catching as many baseball games as he can.
Jose has a passion for lifting up and supporting the youth in his community. The local Boys and Girls Club in Philadelphia is a favorite cause. And when asked “if you had all of the resources available to you to take on a cause – what would you do? Jose answered, “I’d establish a trust for all teachers to get whatever they needed for their classrooms”.
