In January of 2017 Joseph began doing reenactments with the St. John’s Church Foundation alternating between the roles of Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. Since then, Joseph has performed Patrick Henry’s ‘Liberty or Death’ speech for thousands of school children, Virginians, and patriots the world over. Most memorably he performed Mr. Henry’s fiery speech for the Governor and First Lady of Virginia as well as for new American citizens in a Naturalization Ceremony held at St. John’s Church. However, he most enjoys seeing school-aged audiences getting fired up about American History.

“Adversity toughens manhood, and the characteristics of the good or great man, is not that he has been exempted from the evils of life, but that he has surmounted them.”
