The Joseph Group

Michelle O'Brien Life, Community and Connection

What should our clients and friends know about you?

My husband Tom and I live in Newark with three cats and a dog. I love to garden – vegetables and flowers – so we spend a lot of time outside in the spring and summer. A few years ago, a dear friend gifted Tom with a nice bird feeder set-up, “because old people like to watch birds,” which was funny at the time, but we do actually love to sit outside and watch the birds and other wildlife in our neighborhood. We also love live music, we travel as much as possible, and we are both active in a local Rotary club.

What do you love most about The Joseph Group?

Our team is just incredible. Everyone works so well together, and everyone is always willing to do whatever they can to help each other. We work hard but also have several times a year when we get to spend some time together outside the office – our annual family picnic, summer team building outings, and end of the year event are so much fun. Our clients are also incredible. As Manager of Marketing & Communications I plan our events and I love the fact that I get to see so many of our clients at our different events.

What does a great life mean to you?

For me, a great life is one built on community. Tom and I have an incredible group of friends who I know we can rely on for anything. Building a support system is so important, especially now that much of our family is gone. A great life also includes community service. My Rotary club provides so many opportunities for me to help in my local community and to impact communities around the world. Travel plays a big role in our great lives. We love visiting new places and always do our best to spend time in local places that allow us to meet local people. We decided early in our life together to travel whenever we could instead of waiting for retirement. We’ve been so incredibly lucky to go to some amazing places and meet wonderful people. We are truly living a great life.
