Joe has the honor of being selected to compete in the first Extreme Mustang Makeover in 2007.  Since then he has competed in 19 Extreme Mustang Makeovers, and was Norco CA Extreme Mustang Makeover Champion in 2014.  Also in 2014 he was chosen to establish and develop the Wild Horse Inmate Program in Sacramento CA at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Facility "R3C".  He ran the program for 5 years.  With his wife of 30 years, Missy, he developed a 6 Level Wild Horse Certification training curriculum to teach inmates how to train Bureau of Land Management Mustangs.  A documentary "A Horse, a Convict, and a Chance for Change"  was made about the R3C Program by Sacramento Bee News Reporter Autumn Payne.  The documentary won several awards at the International Equine Film Festival.  Joe had attended Western Montana College and was led to move back to Montana and continue educating people about Mustangs through the Wild2Ride Academy that is currently in Missoula, Montana.
