After serving as a minister for fifteen years, large training contracts for thousands of employees and lucrative speaking engagements propelled Joe into the corporate training world. Only one thing lacked--his sense of mission. In his heart, he felt compelled to do for families what he was doing for corporate employees.

In 1994, Joe founded the nonprofit organization, Family Dynamics Institute. He developed FDI's programs using the best material from world-renowned family researchers and educators. In founding Family Dynamics, Joe wanted to do more than just educate couples. He wanted to change the way they live and love so that their marriages would be all that God wants them to be. To do this, Joe developed a form of marital psychoeducation that combines knowledge of relationship principles, human behavior, group dynamics, and unique educational methods. This system does more than educate the mind; it reaches the heart and the soul to create total growth and amazing increasse in love.

Family Dynamics Institute's interactive seminars and courses form the most complete and effective programs available today to revolutionize marriage relationships. FDI's insightful and entertaining training enriches thousands of families across the nation. Thousands of churches and pro-family organizations across the United States use Family Dynamics' marriage enrichment courses to reach out to their communities and prevent marriage strife inside their churches. These congregations have learned that "an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure."
