HIS STORY & PASSION
In 2012 Joey was encouraged to challenge himself to compete in a physique competition. Always physically active, his concern was that at over 6 feet tall but only 169 pounds, he thought he just wasn’t big enough to compete. Others could see the possibilities and encouraged him anyway. “Listen carefully to the confidence that people have in you. People will have more confidence in you than you do in yourself,” Joey said about this experience. “Take a chance, what do you have to lose? What you are doing isn’t working!”
Joey took a chance and now three years later he’s proving that it can be done. Starting at 169 pounds three years ago, he now competes at 195-200 pounds. Now hooked on his new healthy lifestyle, Joey uses it regularly to share how dedication, discipline and hard work can help you achieve your dreams.
In 2014 alone, Joey earned three first place finishes at the Iron Man, Emerald Cup and the Oregon State Championships, all in the Masters Physique category, and he focuses on trying to give back to the community that encouraged him to take a chance. He’s earned his physical trainer certificate and readily shares his knowledge with others interested in starting their own fitness journey.
