Joe Debiak – New Buffalo High School Class of '83

Joe went to Western Michigan University to continue that dream of being a professional baseball player. Unfortunately, arm trouble and surgery in his junior year ended those aspirations. On the up side – Joe did meet his wife (Amy) during that same year and graduated with a B.A. in English and Communications.

Joe's love for music (always the guy on the bus with the boom-box) also prompted an interest in DJ'ing live events, which has evolved into a multi-crew wedding reception disc jockey service that he operates in the Kalamazoo area. For a "day job", Joe is Adverstising Sales manager at the Kalamazoo Gazette.

Baseball has remained a signicant part of Joe's life. In the early ‘90s, he was head baseball coach for Schoolcraft High School (3 years) and Nazareth College (2 years) before ‘stepping up’ to coach his oldest son's "T-ball" team. Now, he coaches Little League and is raising two athletic boys – bringing them into the game early. Joe still finds a little "hardball" time for himself – playing in a men's summer league.

Joe and his family live in Vicksburg, Michigan. He enjoys keeping in touch with old friends. If you'd like to contact Joe, his e-mail link can be located in the member's search area.
