Joe Hand Jr.’s father, Joe Hand, Sr. began his professional career as a Philadelphia Police Detective, but always had an eye and passion for sports, particularly boxing. In 1967, Mr. Hand became a charter member of Cloverlay Corporation, the organization that helped guide Joe Frazier to the heavyweight championship. Mr. Hand became intrigued by the prospect of forming his own company specializing in sports promotions, and did so with his family in 1971, launching Joe Hand Promotions from a row home in Northeast Philadelphia.
Joe Hand, Jr. was a basketball star during his time at La Salle High School in Philadelphia. He won a scholarship to King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 10th round of the 1980 NBA Draft.
