Joe s rich legacy reaches to all corners of the Cowboy State . Forty years of remarkable service! Joe first served as the Director of the Legislative Service Office where he crafted a magnitude of the laws found in our statutes today. He then served as the longest standing Attorney General beginning in Governor Sullivan s administration.

Joe was elected as Wyoming s 30th State Treasurer, in 2010, where he served until his courageous battle with cancer took him from us. Joe had a boundless love for his family, friends and Wyoming . On behalf of the State , it is our privilege to dedicate this 2013 Wyoming State Government Directory to Joe.
