From Newsrooms to Referral Networks
Joe’s story begins with ink-stained fingers and the hustle of newsrooms. But after six years as an ABA Lincoln Council member, he decided to channel his experience and social capital toward a new mission: helping fellow business professionals accelerate their careers through the ABA way—referral marketing. Joe’s passion for sports—football, basketball, and hockey—adds a dash of competitive spirit to his facilitation style. And yes, he even considers roulette a sport (a unique take, wouldn’t you say?).

The ABA Team Mentality
Joe’s facilitation philosophy centers around the concept of a “team.” Here’s how it works:
Build a Referral Community: Form a tight-knit group that bonds and trusts one another. It’s not just about business cards; it’s about genuine connections.
Enhance Personal and Professional Development: Dive deep. Understand the solutions you provide, showcase your current clients, and identify referral sources. Who are the people you’d love to meet? Joe encourages introspection.
Discover Your Secret Sauce: What makes you referrable? Uncover that magic ingredient—the unique blend of skills, expertise, and personality that sets you apart.
Why ABA? A Personal Journey
In July 2019, Long Island Business News downsized, and Joe found himself at a crossroads. But fate intervened. One week later, he met an ABA teammate at the Huntington Hilton in Melville. Surprise: Ten more teammates were there, ready to help him chart his next career move. How do you put a value on that kind of support?
The value of ABA extends beyond mere business transactions. Over 35+ years, it has transformed countless professionals’ lives. Whether you seek guidance, motivation, industry knowledge, or simply a brainstorming session, ABA delivers. They care about you—both personally and professionally.
