He & his wife are devout practicing Catholics who are excited to share the treasure they “found in a field” with the whole world.

A little back ground Information from Joe McClane:
“I was born in Ft. Lenordwood Mo. but, thanks to my father’s employment in the US Army, moved quite a bit to such places as Germany and Texas. After growing up, and graduating high school, in San Antonio Texas I joined the US Marine Corps. I served with MALS 24 in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii and returned to San Antonio in 1995.
After attending broadcasting school in Oklahoma City I moved to New Hampshire with hopes of making it big in the radio business. It turned out to be providential as it was while I was on the air at 106.3 WHOB in Nashua NH that my future wife called in to talk to the new voice on the dial.
The first time we met I knew that I would marry her… I got on my knees that night and thank God for her. We were married on September 30th of 2000.
Well the radio career did not pan out so I spent 5 years working for a Telecommunications firm as a project manager while I attended New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord at night. I graduated with a degree in Computer Information Systems with a 3.9 GPA and High Honers.
During this time I switched careers and started working for a packaging trading firm in Wolfboro NH in International logistics and supply managment. I worked my way up the latter during my five years and ended up the Logistics Manger for their world wide business.
In 2002 my wife and I met a terrific four year old boy named Stevie whom we adopted in 2004. It was at this time that we felt God calling my wife home to home school our son. We stepped out in faith and we paid off our debt and worked to live with in our means. It was a tough few years for sure.
In 2005 my daughter, Mary Elizabeth, was born. What a blessing it was to witness the birth of my child… my heart grew at that very moment. Words simply can not express the joy.
As the finances were tight I worked two jobs (graphics, web design, and video editing) for a time to make ends meet. In the fall if 2006 I was offered a Logistics Management position at a trading firm in Houston TX called MC McLane International (small world). It was a great opportunity to provide for my family so we stepped out in faith, again, and moved the family 2000 miles from home.
Our son, John-Paul, was born on June 7th of 2007 and he is growing like a weed. God has continued to bless us by offering us an opportunity to work full time in Catholic Evangelization. Since February of 2008 I have been working for Fullness of Truth, in Kingwood TX, to help run the ministry and plan conferences.
On April 14th, 2009, my fourth child, Daniel-Jude was born at 9 lbs 13 oz. God is good all the time! We are truly blessed with our children and we pray God will grant us more. Yes… as many as God will give us… not the other way around.”
God Bless,
