WM. Joseph Baker, Esq.
Chief Executive Officer
I’ve been a licensed attorney in Ohio, proudly serving clients as a litigation specialist for over twenty-years. My legal journey began with a degree from Northern Michigan University in 1996, followed by my Juris Doctor from Cleveland State University School of Law in 2000. Throughout my career, my focus has been on helping individuals navigate complex challenges and find effective solutions.
While problem-solving has always been at the core of my work, I’ve also held a lifelong draw to education and helping others. It’s this deep-seated passion that inspired my move to JHB and Perspectives Academy. I saw a unique opportunity to leverage my problem-solving expertise to directly contribute to Perspectives Academy’s powerful mission: empowering every attendee to thrive and succeed. Having known Dr. Berk since 2015, his vision and passion have always resonated with me, and I’m genuinely honored to now be a part of bringing that mission to life.
Away from work, my life is centered on my family. I share my life with my wife, Sharon Baker, an accomplished lifetime educator and Director of Hathaway Brown Middle School, and our energetic twin boys, Nolan and Cooper. You’ll find me spending all my non-office hours coaching or enthusiastically cheering for them at every baseball, soccer, basketball game, or swim meet.
