Joey is a writer, editor, and musician who enjoys the craft of storytelling. He has worked as a journalist, an editor for a software magazine, a copywriter for an online marketing firm, a content and community manager for a nonprofit website, and a technical editor for software documentation. He currently works as a technical program manager at VMware and is a former board member and enthusiastic supporter of Half Access.

Joey likes building creative relationships, brainstorming new solutions to tricky problems, helping people communicate more clearly and effectively, and losing/finding himself for a few hours in a book, an album, or a forest. When he's not wordsmithing, he often can be found composing music that he uses to entertain his cats.
