Once he dreamed of being an FBI agent; Joe Rosato became Mr. Bar Association instead
Profiles in Leadership
Growing up in Brooklyn, Joe Rosato always dreamed of being a law enforcement officer. His goal was one day to join the FBI and he even took the test to join the NYPD before he graduated from Xaverian High School.
Around that same time, though, he also took the test to become a New York State court officer. He did well on that test and started working in Manhattan as an officer even before graduating from New York University.
Rosato never intended on giving up the dream of becoming an FBI agent, but he got married to his wife Fran shortly later and his priorities shift. He was eventually transferred to Brooklyn Supreme Court, Civil Term and began to clerk for Hon. Elliott Golden.
