Hi, I'm Joe Schwendt.  Thanks for taking the time to learn a bit more about me.  I look forward to connecting with you.  Please let me know if anything here strikes an emotion, good, bad or otherwise.  It's what makes us people!

Work

 

I’m currently Senior Director, Head of Mobile & Web Technology at Fresenius Medical Care where I’m helping to build the next generation of kidney care technology.

 
 

Previously I enjoyed stints at Orrick, Veeya, Sanofi, ReferralMob, Apperian, Intel and Booz-Allen & Hamilton.  I've had the privilege of building over 175 mobile apps, managing global incident response for Intel and deploying border control systems all over the world.

 

I'm hands-on and very aggressive adopting the latest technologies.  My style is work hard/play hard, and make every second count.  There's not a day that goes by that I'm not learning something new.

 

Play

 

I'm a total Alt Rockaholic!  Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, Weezer, OK Go, Letters to Cleo, Bastille, Cake, Faith No More, Blind Melon, etc.  I LOVE live music and usually go to about 10 shows a year.

 
 
 

I love to travel and explore. I’m currently learning to fly my 1978 Piper Arrow III, which is based out of KOWD (Norwood, MA).

 
 
 

I'm a spicy food junkie.  I've never eaten something too hot.  I've completed countless eating challenges, most are too easy.  I did get my attempt at the Hellfire Challenge from SmokeEaters in Cupertino, CA on video for your enjoyment.

 
 
 

Devoted dad of 2 awesome boys and the cutest little pup. I’m so proud of them and all they have accomplished. I’m constantly surprised by how much they’re now teaching me.

 
 
 

I actively play soccer (goalkeeper), curling (vice), alpine ski (~30 days a year) and golf (always in the rough).  Since the beginning of the pandemic, I typically walk at least 5 miles a day.
