Joe Arnett

Joe Arnett, M.S., was born and raised in Upper Arlington, OH and moved to California to work as a youth minister. Joe graduated from Chapman University in 1997 with a bachelors of arts in Religion with an emphasis in youth ministry, and the University of Redlands in 2001 with a master of science in Interactive Telecommunication.

He and his wife Margie, bought their home in San Bernardino in 2002, and rebuilt it after the "Old Fire" devastated the north San Bernardino neighborhoods in October 2003.

Joe has worked with youth and young adults for over 10 years, participating in, organizing and directing christian youth events and service projects for hundreds.  When asked, what he has liked best about youth ministry? Joe humbly says, "Making a difference.  Having a positive impact in someone's life is something special and when you connect with someone on that level, both our lives change." Joe has served as the treasurer for his church and has volunteered on numerous mission and work projects.

He believes in renewable energy and being a good steward of the earth's natural resources. His home is solar powered and the lawn is watered by a controller which downloads weather information by satellite ensuring plants are not over-watered. He utilizes energy efficient resources whenever possible, recycles, and uses 'reusable' grocery bags.

Joe enjoys his role managing the Educational Support Services (ESS) department at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Educational Support Service provides print and electronic media resources for faculty, administration, students and staff in all areas of dental education, research and technology. In his spare time he enjoys photography, OSU football (Go Bucks!), hiking, camping, fishing, golfing, playing guitar, riding his horse on the trails of the San Bernardino mountains, and his motorcycle all over Southern California.
