About

Back in 2004, Joe was 24 and had a decent career as an Optician. The only problem was that he was miserable. Adjusting glasses for the next 30 to 40 years was not an appealing thought. It was time for a change, before it was too late… How about that Internet thing?

By early 2005, Joe was teaching himself web design and creating graphics in Photoshop on nights and weekends. Before long, having discovered his passion, Joe’s optical career was on hold and he was back in college, while taking on as much client work as possible in his free time. In 2008, JMA Web Consulting was born. Adjusting glasses was a distant memory.

In 2011, Joe relocated to Wilmington, NC after living in Western Massachusetts for thirty years. He lives with his wife Becki and their three beautiful daughters, Sophia, Isla, and Natalie. They have a little dog named Bella and a huge cat named Dill. On the weekends, you can find them on the beach playing with the kids, or eating at one of Wilmington’s many restaurants. Any other free time is generally spent doing yard work, watching movies, or reading fiction. Joe's glasses are usually crooked.

In 2009 Becki was working for a leading ophthalmology practice in Massachusetts. She not only managed the optical department, but ran the low vision clinic, was the contact lens consultant for the office and helped with billing and examinations (sometimes working 50+ hours a week). After working in the optical field since 2001 and becoming an Optician in 2004, Joe and Becki decided that she would become a stay at home mom after their second daughter, Isla, was born in 2010. Becki has always needed to keep busy (as if taking care of three little girls wasn’t enough), and since she has always taken it upon herself to help Joe with small projects for JMA, it was only natural for her to officially become part of the JMA team. Becki is the Marketing spearhead of JMA Web Consulting and handles other various administrative tasks as well (she is even known to make Joe lunch on occasion). She enjoys the pleasure of working side by side with her husband every day, not many wives can say that!

In her spare time she is also the owner of Happy Ballerina, a custom tutu business…she has 3 girls, of course she makes tutus (and yes, JMA designed her website). She enjoys spending time with Joe and their three girls at one of the many beautiful beaches here in Wilmington, NC or attending one of the hundreds of family oriented attractions that the Port City has to offer. She is active in their local church as well as doing whatever she can for her daughter’s dance and pre-schools. She is one busy lady, but wouldn’t trade it for the world… and she doesn’t mind being home to make lunch for Joe one bit.
