Joe Martinoni, Treasurer

Joe studied Operations Research at the US Air Force Academy in Colorado and Computer Science at NJIT in Newark. He is currently completing a degree in Organizational Leadership at Thomas Edison State University in Trenton. Working as a senior systems integrator, his consulting company has been in continuous operation since 1994, with several forays into middle management. He is currently consulting for a semi-conductor start-up firm in California. He joined the Rockaway Presbyterian Church in 1997 when he moved to Rockaway with his young family and became an Elder there in 2003. He has served at the congregational, presbytery, and synod level, most recently as a contractor working for the Synod of the Northeast. He has been supply preaching for the Mountainside Presbyterian Church for the last six months. He values diversity in working groups and always strives for better ways to communicate and lead in that context. The servant-leader model has always been his guiding star when it comes to serving, both in the secular and ecclesial worlds. One has always advised the other. He is enthusiastic about spiritual discernment and systems analysis, which are remarkably similar in his mind. He has been serving as Rise Up Rockaway Executive Treasurer for six years.
