My Story...
 Joey is an arborist and greenwood worker born and raised in Metro Detroit. Now residing in the Brightmoor Farmway neighborhood in Detroit’s west side, Joey finds community amongst the urban farms, homestead gardens, and sprawling woods of Brightmoor. Joey brings his passion for craft and community to Michigan Folk School to spread the joys of greenwood working and creation.
