Through over 35 years of experience in the industry, he made a remarkable impact as a Portfolio Manager at Catholic United Financial, overseeing a $1 billion life and fixed annuity portfolio.

Joe has been happily married to his wife, Carrin, for 29 years, and they are blessed to have three adult children who live in the Twin Cities. Joe most treasures the moments spent with friends and family.

Just as Emmaus Partners dawns, we say thank you and goodbye to our esteemed Director of Partner Services, Mike Laughery. We are grateful for his 12 years of dedicated and meaningful contribution and friendship.
