Frisco Sr. and Ruthann Frisco (Spangler). Joe graduated from Drexel University in 1988 with a BA in Mechanical Engineering. A few short weeks later Joe married Ann P. Fineran of Conshohocken, PA.

He served 5 years in the submarine force aboard the USS Woodrow Wilson. Joe earned the rank of Lieutenant, as well as 4 Naval Achievement Medals, Officer Submarine Warfare Breast Insignia, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and a National Defense Service Medal. Upon leaving the Navy Joe took a job at Energy Northwest in Richland, WA. In the following years he realized his dream of becoming a Plant Manager at the Brunswick Nuclear Power Plant and then a VP of Design Engineering at Duke Energy in Charlotte. Most importantly, Joe treasured time with his family. Joe and Ann shared a love for music and traveling. Joe was a supportive father and thoroughly enjoyed being Papa Joe to his granddaughters.
