        About Joe Toste

        Joe Toste is the founder and podcaster for the TechTables Podcast. Joe is known for his ability to "make C-Levels look great" while spotlighting the issues that technology leaders care about most. 

        What started with a humble camera and tripod at the CES Conference in Las Vegas (and without a lapel mic- haha!) grew into a full-fledged passion for sharing what connects the technology community through stories of successes, challenges, and reflections.

        In addition to podcasting, Joe coaches boys' basketball at his alma mater, Dos Pueblos High School. Joe lives in Santa Barbara, California, with his wife, Jamie, their high school daughter, Anabelle, and their preschool son, Jack.

        Fun fact: Joe is frequently (and lovingly) referred to as "The Podcast Guy!" at technology conferences.
