Age: 36
Title: Godfather
Married/Single: Single
Kids: I have 3 kids not counting all of my younger friends that I’m currently raising
City you live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in my life includes…
Going over P&Ls, managing my athlete’s and celebrity’s affairs, and handling whatever needs to be handled in the 20+ businesses that I own.
I was born…
in Yonkers, New York.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the lack of natural disasters and the perfect winters. So I guess that means I love the “weather”. Opportunity comes in at a close second though. Being from the East Coast everything seems so slow paced here. All I see is opportunity because no one here wants to work and I LOVE it because I’m a workaholic.
I’m listening to… Zach and I’s music or Joyner Lucas (who is a good friend of mine).
My family…
is literally my everything. Being Italian, family is what you live for. Family isn’t defined by blood it’s more of a concept, a pact, and I would do anything for my family.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Al Pacino. His acting was probably more responsible for who I turned out to be than any teacher or professor I ever had.
One thing I cannot live without…
this is a close tie between pizza and family…hmmm..can we make pizza an official part of my family?
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a businessman. I would’ve dropped out of school at 12 if I could’ve. Unfortunately for me I wanted to play soccer in high school and I couldn’t do that unless I was in school. I moved out of my parent’s house at 17 and took matters/life into my own hands at that point.
I’m inspired by…
youth! The promise of a bright future, the purity of untapped potential, the blank canvas that is a young mind inspires me more than anything else. It is the reason I mentor budding businessmen and women and donate my time, efforts, energy and experiences into making the future leaders of tomorrow more efficient and well-rounded people.
The one person who motivates me is…
- I have never had a proper mentor nor ever had anyone push me to my limits. I’ve always been a self-motivator.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
the education system. It’s so flawed in so many ways.
The perfect day would be…
my wedding day (if it ever happens). I would love the opportunity to invite all of the people I love most in the world to an event commemorating me and the woman I will spend the rest of my life with. Pretty cheesy for a guy to say that, right? Guess it’s a good thing I don’t care what any of you think 🙂
My first job was…
bagging groceries at Food Lion, haha.
My favorite escape…
Taormina, Sicily. I try to go every year. I have wonderful friends and family there. It’s the one place on Earth I actually shut my phone off and just soak in my surroundings, TRULY relax, and simply enjoy the moment.
My life…
is a wonderful, beautiful, tumultuous roller coaster.
I’m currently working on…
Zach’s album, a reality TV show, building my 4th Denny’s, franchising my FitStrong Nutrition stores, redesigning my FitStrong Supplement line, and opening multiple Crunch Fitness gyms across Phoenix. Yes, this is all happening at once. Welcome to Joey’s World.
Always…
stand up for what you believe in.
Never…
lie to those you love and/or respect.
Favorite Quote…
“Delegate everything but genius.”
Biggest Dream…
to be in my 80’s or 90’s and sit back at a family gathering, preferably around the holidays and observe multiple generations of my blood line interacting with smiles on their faces and know that I not only made their lives possible, but that they are good people living fulfilling lives with hearts full of love and minds focused on opportunity.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
lying/deception, wasted potential, bad hygiene.
