Joyce has over 17 years of experience working with Aramark and 13 years in the higher education sector. Higher education dining has been a passion of his since he began his career at High Point Uni­versity, starting in the catering depart­ment. Joyce moved from a supervisor to the director of the de­partment. After 10 years and a growing family, he chose to change directions and moved to South Carolina. As Food Service Di­rector, he was a part of the transition team opening the Carolina Food Co. on the campus of University of South Carolina. During this time at South Carolina, he has taken on both spectrums of the dining pro­gram, having had oversight of satellite retail dining and now the dining hall experience. He thrives in making the student dining experience extraordinary by driving student engagement and introducing new and creative dining programs.

Joyce is from Clemmons, North Carolina and attended college at Cape Fear in Wilmington, North Carolina. He and his wife Holly have twin 9-year-old boys, Clayton and Mitchell, and reside in Chapin, South Carolina.
