Joseph is Convergent Research’s Head of Communications. He moved over from Ginkgo Bioworks, where he spent four-ish years leading PR, IR, internal comms, and special projects around worker-ownership and governance. Joseph has degrees in cognitive science/history of science, journalism, business, and will graduate with a JD from CUNY Law in 2026. Joseph has served as a trustee of the Telluride Association for over a decade and is a board member of the Sand Mountain Cooperative Education Center.

In his spare time, he loves writing (and teaching writing to academics), collaborating with friends on educational and art projects, and making music. (He's currently taking singing lessons for fun, though he's still shy about his falsetto.) Joseph lives in Astoria, NY with his wife, a climate scientist at MIT who thinks a lot about melting Antarctic glaciers, and their two ragdoll cats.
