oe ws J no s K es tr s Meet Joe Robinson: Local leader neutralizes the pressure of work by working out By Erica K. DaniEls loving husband, father of four, ordained minister, chief executive officer of North Brevard Charities Sharing Center (NBCSC), retired U.S. Coast Guard officer, former aerobics instructor, 59 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and—stressed out! “I deal with every client and every problem that this organization serves,” Robinson says of NBCSC. “If I didn’t go to the gym regularly, I couldn’t deal.” When it comes to combating stress, take it from Robinson: “In my 42 years of working, I have never taken a sick day. I attribute that to physical fitness.” Robinson, the 16th of 18 children, says his family was too poor for him to be active in team sports. So it wasn’t until he enlisted in the Coast Guard that he became focused on physical fitness. What he discovered was like a personal fountain of youth. “Football, basketball—nothing excites me like working against myself,” Robinson says. To keep himself in tiptop shape, Joe Robinson incorporates a number of exercise machines at Parrish Health & Fitness Center, including the stepper for cardio health. The Corner of ACorn And hopkins Most of Robinson’s day is spent on the corner of Acorn Drive and Hopkins Avenue in Titusville. As the CEO of NBCSC, Robinson oversees the daily operations of an organization that provides 13,000 to 15,000 services annually, in a variety of categories: food pantry, assistance with rent and utilities, emergency dental and prescription medications, transitional and affordable housing, holiday support with food and toys, and school backpacks and supplies. 50 Vim & Vigor • SP R I N G 2 012
