QUITE ADEPT, ACTUALLY
Joey is a real “one-man-show” and is as well rounded as they come in the business. It’s not often you find someone that is as technically skilled, knowledgeable and etiquette-aware behind the camera, as they are in front of it.
From producing feature films, to production sound, all technical aspects of post production, and even role casting, despite the volume he can achieve with his hair, Joey has worn more hats than one would think!
the FATE INITIATIVE
Joey founded The FATE Initiative following the tragic and sudden death of his sister in late 2018.
Discover his plan for change and find out how it truly was FATE that brought him here.
Before his lengthy career in front of (and behind) the lens, Joey was in front of (and behind) the stove as a chef in Toronto. A significant overlap in timelines between culinary school and film school, would transform him into one of the most unique and diverse television hosts of his time.
An accomplished actor and live eye as well, Joey has attended some of the most iconic events in the business, including Academy Awards Red Carpet, special screenings and events at the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, as well as hosting his own food and lifestyle series.
Before walking the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards with the likes of Ryan Seacrest, Kris Jenner and Giuliana Rancic, Joey was a Food & Lifestyle host on a US series titled, Off The Menu. The three season series followed the likes of Shay Mitchell, Charlotte McKinney and Joey to restaurants across North America in search of dishes only found on secret menus. Prior to that, Joey was the host of The Chef Cartel, a chef competition series with a live audience where Canada’s most renown chefs battle in a black-box style competition.

ON CAMERA
HOST, PRESENTER, COACH & AMBASSADOR
Joey’s on camera experience is as diverse as his off camera knowledge. From live on-air on the red carpet, to live studio audience in heated competition, to live arena & stadium with tens of thousands of screaming fans, when the red light is on, Joey really performs and delivers!
He’ll also argue that acting and hosting, are both, the furthest thing from each other, but in the same container. Addressing this, Joey offers technical and practical on-camera coaching for both, experienced performers and novice creators with a common goal of delivering an authentic performance, for whatever brand or personal or professional project you may have.
Joey has coached influencers, chefs, actors and even other coaches on crafting their on-camera personality.
BEHIND THE LENS
SHOOT, EDIT, EXPORT
With an extensive professional career in production and post, Joey is truly a production powerhouse, working almost every job in production. Throughout his career Joey has been credited professionally as a boom operator, production sound mixer, production coordinator, production manager, executive in charge of production, associate and producer, and even as a licensed gun wrangler and armourer.
Add this to a lengthy resume of camera operation, editing and motion graphics, and even sound design, voiceover and ADR, Joey truly has all of the skills and knowledge to conceptualize and execute all kinds of video content.
ON PAPER
CONCEPT + STRATEGY
Joey is an Aries, which means he says “yes” to everything. And with the right planning and conceptualizations for content, whether it’s written, on-camera, or on-air, Joey really knows how to drive the message home - with the story of that message with its hands at 10 & 2.
This strategy of his is interchangeable in any aspect of creative you may be on the road with.
(He’s also really good at metaphors).
It’s having all these skills and experiences that really earned Joey the title of being a one-man-show.
