Likes
He loves Emmie and he loves his job as a New York Police Officer. Elizabeth's family on the other hand, he doesn't hate her family by any means he just has a hard time fitting in with them because He grew u in such a radically different environment. He is a big comic book and super hero fan. He had been reading them ever since he was a kid.
Dislikes
Crime is a big thing that Joe does not like, It is actually one of the main reasons why he became a cop. He doesn't like it when people are completely self absorbed and they don't realize what they have. Poverty is another thing that he hates, because he grew up in a home that lived paycheck by paycheck. He oesn't like Emmie's Father's disapproving view towards Joseph and he just wants to be seen as an equal. The two of them had really only ever gotten into a fight once, two years ago. Her Father called him a "Low Life Ticket-giver from the slums of New York" Joseph was very upset about that and if it wasn't for Emmie's mom they would still probably be on very hostile ground. Things have gotten better between them, they are by no means good, but better.
Fears
His one biggest fear is that something will happen to Elizabeth and He won't be there to protect her. He also fears that something could happen to him and he doesn't want to put her through that.
Dreams
One of his biggest dreams is to move up the ranks in his precinct and he is slowly but surely beginning to do that. Having family and growing old with Emmie.

Personality
Joseph is a very smart person, and he tends to use that to his advantage. He Also has alot of streets smarts having grown up in New York City. He is very polite and has learned to interact with her family. He He isn't entirely sure how he stands in regards to the other family members but he knows hes in good stances with a couple of them. Joseph is a very quick thinker, this has gotten him into some tight situations, but in the end everything usually turns out ok. He isn't afraid of much and is very brave. This has also put him into some sticky situations. Overall he is a very kind and fun person who loves to do his job and help people. Most of all he does the best he can to make Emmie happy.
History
Joseph grew up in an apartment with his Mother Margaret, and His older brother Thomas. They lived in the rough neighborhood of Hells Kitchen In New York City and His mom worked three different jobs just to keep a roof over their heads. She raised both of her boys as Roman Catholics. Joseph and his brother usually got into different kinds of mischief around their neighborhood but nothing serious. Their father was out of the picture and the neighborhood was their playground. As they got older Joseph began to focus on his school work and try to get a good job. His brother actually went into the seminary as was planning on becoming a priest. When Joseph was 17 He got the news that his brother had been shot and killed in a crossfire. He then entered the police academy and trained to become a cop. Joseph graduatedd top of his class when he was 22. He met Elizabeth Porter at a bar just off of campus. When he was 24 and a newer cop. He got called there because of a fight that had broken out between two students. She saw the whole thing and he took her Testimony. The rest is history and they've been together ever since.
Most Proud Moment
One of his most proud moments was when he was commended for saving two children from a burning building. He was a beat cop then and he was on his route when he saw the burning building.The flames had spread all through the apartment building and he had heard their were kids inside. He acted rashly and ran into the building. The two little children made it out safely in his arms and after coughing up half of a lung he went home to Emmie. About a year and a half ago he began training as a detective in New York City and has been in homicide since. One of the best moments of his life was when he started dating Elizabeth Porter, A women as amazing and successful as her could have anyone she wanted, but she chose him and it makes him the happiest person in the world.

Most Traumatic Moment
Probably his most traumatic moment would be when he found out his brother Tom had been murdered in the crossfire of a gang shootout. That had been the initial spark towards him starting his career in law enforcement. The second most traumatic moment would be when He found out That Emmie's mother had passed away. She was the one person he felt he actually connected to other than Emmie. He was deeply saddened by her death and was By Emmie's side through the Whole ordeal.
