Joe was a member of Chicago Journeymen Plumbers Local Union 130 UA and the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150. After high school, he went into the family business, LoVerde Construction Company. He left after 30 years to work for the park district as executive director.

When he can find spare time, Joe enjoys spending it on the golf course.

He has been married to his wife, Maura, for more than 40 years. They have four children; Stephanie, Natalie, Joey and Kimberlie as well as three grandchildren.
