ABOUT JOE:
Joe Piersante is a 23-year veteran of the United States Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and provides presentations on overcoming adversity. During his time with the DEA, Special Agent Piersante was assigned to complex narcotics investigations, clandestine laboratory investigations and deployed with a DEA’s Foreign Advisory Support Team (FAST). Assigned to a Delta Team for three tours to Afghanistan and Honduras.

While serving on a counter narcotics mission in Afghanistan, Joe survived a Taliban sniper round through the frontal lobe which left him blind. Joe’s long path of recovery is an amazing journey. He has shared his story and secrets to overcoming the odds and adversity with audiences across the country. His presentation provides audiences valuable insight by sharing stories of his life experiences, setbacks, life lessons and motivates people to overcome hardships and achieve their goals.

Participants at his speaking engagements appreciate his unique sense of humor, positive perspective on life, and his ability to inspire others. He acknowledges that everyone faces adversity at some point in their life, and is quick to point out that it is how you rebound from these hard times that really defines you as a person and will ultimately determine your happiness.

Joe inspires audiences by explaining that we can’t control the unfortunate things that inevitably happen in our lives, but we can control how we react to them. Your mindset and attitude can help you turn your breakdowns into breakthroughs, and help you look at negative experiences as opportunities and a new start.
