He helped build the business into a regional chain of convenience stores, truck stops, and Burger King restaurants. Joe retired from day-to-day retail operations in 2009, and currently oversees investments.
Additionally, he served as chairman of two state agencies under Governor Ann Richards, has served as president of the Rio Grande Council (Boy Scouts of America), and as a member of the Sharyland ISD school board for more than nine years.
