Joseph was born in Florida, but raised in Boise, Idaho, and immersed in the outdoors at a young age. When he was just six years old, his dad took him out fishing on the Boise River with a can of worms and a spin rod. When he was about 12 years old, his dad purchased a fly rod and some flies for them to try their luck with something new. Fast forward to today and he's still that loud, outgoing, and energetic kid, now with more years, experience, and knowledge in his industry. Since he was 17, he's chosen to have fly fishing be the entirety of his income. His summers are spent living in a trailer on a farm in Picabo, Idaho guiding fly fishing trips for Picabo Angler on Silver Creek River, Salmon River, Lost River and Big Wood River. Meanwhile, his winters are spent at No Name Lodge in Puerto Rico as a lodge hand and fishing guide for Tarpon and Permit. In his time off, he flyfishes some more, travels, spends time with his girlfriend Annika or his best friend Bradley, plays with his dog Maverick, or hones in on a new skill in media editing.
