Joe Huesmann Scrutineer - Maryland   
    USA Dance+WDSF - Scrutineer
Joe started dancing in 1995 while attending grad school at the University of Maryland. For the first year he was purely a social dancer; until the ballroom club coaxed him into entering their inaugural DC Dancesport Inferno competition, and he was hooked. He soon gravitated to International Standard, and focused on that style for many years.

As part of the organizing committee for the Mid-Atlantic Championships NQE in Bethesda, MD from 2009-2022, he performed technical setup for O2CM and acted as online registrar. In this capacity he became familiar with O2CM, scrutineering, and running dancesport competitions. After scrutineering college competitions for a few years, he passed the scrutineering exam in 2014.

After he and his partner qualified for and danced at the world championships in 2015, she retired from competition. He elected to do the same, to focus on scrutineering and life off the comp floor.
