A look at his professional endeavors
Joseph Jingoli is the Chairman of his family's fifth-generation construction and development firm. As shared on its website, he has experience working in multiple industries, including health care, gaming, and power, among others.
Additionally, he is also the Chairman of DCO Energy. According to the company's website, Joseph Jingoli and his brother, Michael Jingoli, launched the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City on June 28, 2018.
Joseph is strongly committed to social causes. In 2012, he founded The F.A.R.M. Team (Facilitating Active Recovery Mission), a nonprofit organization, People reported.
Operating on his family farm, Harmony Hollow, in Lambertville, New Jersey, this organization's aim is to support young people in addiction recovery. These adults are assisted and provided with opportunities to build skills, connections, and farm experiences.
They are guided to work in agricultural activities and focus on their personal growth, and understand the power of responsibilities. The organization also networks and helps these people find jobs and explore career opportunities.
In a 2015 conversation with PhillyVoice.com, Joseph Jingoli reflected on The F.A.R.M. Team's operations and objectives, sharing,
"It is less about the farming, and much more about the camaraderie and the sense of responsibility. Responsibility for showing up on time, for being part of a team, for having others depend on you, for having other living things depending on you. ... The farm is simply one stop on a way to a career, whether with our company or other companies. I see this every day with young people working on the farm."

How did they meet?
The duo met on Hadid's East Coast farm in Pennsylvania after she relocated there in 2017. As per People, they began dating in January 2019. While Yolanda often makes the headlines for her personal life, she kept her romantic life private and away from the limelight initially.
They came across each other when Yolanda was recovering from Lyme Disease. Opening up about her relationship, she recalled those special days and told the outlet,
"I really started focusing, I made a love spiral and wrote down exactly everything that was important to me in a man and he magically just rang the doorbell at the farm."
She further continued about her love story, adding,
"When you meet somebody that thought he was going to die, like I felt I was going to die, you have a whole new appreciation for life and you kind of share that, so that’s really already a common bond that we have. To live in the moment, enjoy every day, and not wait. Why take it slow? Let’s just go for it and have a great time."
