Lying paralysed in the hospital, Joey made the difficult decision to not let the situation define him or his future. The next 10 years would be filled with devastating setbacks and personal triumphs that would forge a new mindset that carried him to eventually stand on the start line of the Dakar Rally. A race that would test him far beyond what even he could have imagined.

Since racing the Dakar Joey has continued to live his passion for adventure. He’s raced 1000’s of kilometres through the deserts of North Africa and ridden in over 32 countries on 6 continents. As a best selling author and international keynote speaker Joey weaves heartfelt emotion, witty humour and gripping adventure to leave audiences with a new perspective on their own challenges and the renewed drive to chase their own goals and dreams.
