Commissioner Joseph V. Sileo

Joseph Sileo is a family man, businessman, and community leader. Joe was born and raised in Northern Jersey but has proven his loyalty to Cumberland County over the past 33 years.

Joe graduated high school as a varsity athlete and went on to study business management and economics at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University) earning a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. There, Joe met his Vineland-born and raised college sweetheart and now wife of 40 years, Sharon Petalino Sileo. Joe moved his family to Vineland in 1988 where he raised three daughters and has since welcomed four grandchildren. In his downtime, Joe loves kicking back with his two rescue dogs, Olive and Ruby.

Joe built his career experience working in Millville as the sales manager of Kane Steel Co. As a leader in the industry, Joe has strengthened several metal distribution and fabrication companies by increasing profitable growth and building strong network relationships. Using this expertise, Joe will passionately fight for the economic development of Cumberland County.

As the owner and operator of a small, retail business on Landis Avenue in downtown Vineland for many years, Joe is a strong proponent of local entrepreneurs. He got involved with the early stages of Vineland’s downtown improvement initiative and believes maintaining our local businesses will strengthen Cumberland County.

Joe has always taken an interest in helping his neighbors and community. As a dedicated father, Joe volunteered to coach Vineland Pigtail League softball for 16 years. Joe became a Board Member of the National Exchange Club of Vineland and president-elect for 2 additional years and a member of the Vineland Board of Education Facilities Review Committee. He has been a long-time supporter of local nonprofits such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the YMCA of Vineland. Passionate about making a difference, Joe took his efforts a step further in 1992 by running for Vineland City Council.

Joe’s leadership skills, business experience, and genuine concern equip him with a strong voice for supporting his neighbors of Cumberland County.
