It’s true, God always comes first. Yet, this page is here so you can get to know me a little bit better. So here’s some general info and background so you can do just that.
My name is Joe Guagliardo (Joe G), I was born in Chicago, Illinois. I am now retired from full-time youth ministry, but still, serve, and work with the Florida/Georgia District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, (L.C.M.S.) on youth gatherings and other youth ministry-related events.
