Meet the Team: Joe Fitzpatrick

He was here from the very beginning, Mr. Joseph Fitzpatrick has been a prime example of someone who keeps things moving around here at FIRST.

His official title is Monitor Technician but he does so much more. He recently retired from HFD after 35 years, he has owned a glass blowing company for 10 years, and he even had a comic strip called "Station life". According to him: " I really need to have that creative time in my life or I start feeling antsy." Well Joe we will certainly continue to keep you busy and even creative here at F.I.R.S.T. ( The table in the picture was crafted by Joe)

Thanks for all that you do!
