JOSEPH V. MOTTOLA
President & CEO
The oldest of seven children, Joseph V. Mottola, IV grew up in Southwest Philadelphia. He joined the Marine Corps at the age of 17 and specialized in Fire-Crash-Rescue/Sea- Air Rescue. Joe was the 50th Marine in his family … a proud line of tradition; and one that shaped who Joe was destined to be as a person later in life.
After Marine life, Joe’s life was devoted to education. He first attended the University of Miami to study chemistry and fire science and then schooled at Texas A&M to learn Wild Well Control School (oil well/ gas fire suppression). As Joe’s life-pattern dictated, fire was in his blood!
