Joseph grew up with a single mother who worked at a video store until he was about 9 yrs old. Joseph would sit watching old movies in the stock room while his mother worked, this deepened his love for film. One of his most emotional losses during the 2020 pandemic was being told he couldn't direct & act in a play, at that moment he knew he had to focus on his passion. He set aside his plan to enlist in the Airforce & followed his heart by pursuing acting.
