August 2013 Member of the Month: Joseph Funaro

 

Joseph Funaro’s journey in Thoroughbred ownership began at a relatively conventional place-dinner in New York City with his brothers-but with a slightly unconventional approach.

Funaro, who works on Wall Street, was looking for a business he could get involved in alongside his full-time job. He considered restaurant ownership, but like many of the other possibilities, couldn’t imagine juggling his demanding schedule with the day-to-day challenges of a business that was open while he was in the office.
