Joseph’s career at Alpha Omega Amusements/Sales began in 1994 when he started working part time servicing the local route locations as well as reconditioning and repairing games at the corporate office. In 1997, Joseph decided to commit all his time and energy to Alpha Omega.  He quickly became an integral part of the Alpha-Omega Amusements/Sales team by immersing himself into every aspect of the operation.   He worked his way through each department and has managed the Merchandise Department, Dispatch, and the Parts and Service Department. In 2009, he became Director of Operations and completed his pursuit of a BS Degree in Business and Innovation.  In 2010, he was selected to train and supervise all of Alpha Omega Amusement/Sales installation and setup teams. This also included focusing on the ‘after sale’ by monitoring, reviewing, and analyzing all the game related earnings at each of these locations and furnishing them with a monthly report.  Having a deep commitment to our Industry, with a sense of obligation, his strong desire of ‘giving back’  was the impetus of him becoming an active member of AAMA in 2014. He now serves on the following committees:  Standardization, FEC,  Merchandise (subcommittee Chair), Payment Systems & Technology (subcommittee Chair).  In addition, starting in 2014, he began penning articles for some of our trade journals.
