Hi, I'm Joey (he/him). 

When I was six, I helped a guy track down and rescue his Bichon Frise that had been kidnapped by my neighbors. As a thank you, he brought my family to Pizza Hut in a limousine.

Now that my dog bounty hunting days are behind me, I like to come up with cool ideas for cool brands. During the day I make stuff at Mother LA. At night I write things other than ads and eat night breakfast. Say hi if you'd like to know more about any of those things.
