Joe was born in the magical hills of Van Nuys California and spent his childhood roaming the mystical San Fernando Valley. After achieving mild success as a riverboat gambler, he walked away from the fame and fortune that was sure to follow and took to the rails crossing the country eight times in four years. He came to be known as Hobo Joe, Soupbone Stafford and Storybook Slim of the south. After being voted first runner-up at the 1991 National Hobo Convention in Britt Iowa, he gave up his wandering ways and began a less exciting career in television production. It took Joe less than twenty years behind the camera to realize that acting isn’t really all that hard and that he should have had Owen Wilson’s career. So, he has returned to his storybook ways only minus the campfires and headlice.
