Joey is a Los Angeles-based comedian, Peabody and Emmy-nominated TV writer and an enrolled member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Growing up, Joey aspired to become a local TV weatherperson because he didn’t see Native American comedians on screen and thought a career in comedy was off-limits. He has since proven otherwise, with his comedy featured in The Washington Post, CNN, Dropout, Pitchfork, NPR, Dead Meat, and Comedy Central.
As a television writer, Joey has written for shows such as Spirit Rangers on Netflix, Molly of Denali and Alma’s Way on PBS, New Looney Tunes and LEGO Ninjago: Decoded on Cartoon Network, and PAW Patrol and Rubble & Crew on Nickelodeon. Joey created Gone Native, a Webby Award-winning Comedy Central digital series about weird microaggressions Native folks often experience. His short films have screened everywhere from Just For Laughs to the Smithsonian Museum and received billions of views across the internet.
