When computers were in their infancy young Joseph was tearing them apart just to see how they worked, and he never got over his insatiable curiosity about the latest and greatest gadgets as they became available. As a young man Mr. Joyner went to work in a local computer store as a hardware technician while he worked his way through night school. He continued pursuing his passion while earning a computer science degree in just five years attending classes at night and on weekends.

My previous coal is to develop new software that will revolutionize artificial intelligence and how it's applied to industrial robotics," says Joyner. Those who know him have little doubt that he'll accomplish his goal.
