Joey was born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, where he lived until he went on to Bridgewater College to play D3 football and study Health and Exercise! After graduating, he became a full-time personal trainer.
In 2021, he made the leap to become an LO due to his lifelong interest in the housing market. He still trains part-time on the side! When he is not working, he enjoys hiking, watching movies, working out, and going to breweries.
