Joey is a resilient teenager currently under legal guardianship with two loving caregivers he calls Mom and Dad, along with his two brothers. Despite the challenges posed by his birth mother's struggles with substance abuse and the absence of his birth father, Joey remains focused on his future. He enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and friends, balancing the typical pressures of adolescence while striving to make the right decisions despite peer pressure. With dreams of graduating high school and attending college, Joey is a good kid with a strong heart and a hopeful outlook on life, determined to succeed and create a brighter future for himself.

Joey loves spending time outdoors with his friends and hanging out with his girlfriend. Now that he is a sophomore in high school, he is trying to keep up with the latest trends among teenagers. Joey's favorite shoes are Nike Air Force 1s, and he would love to get a new pair!
