Twenty years ago, Joey learned of his Spanish Jewish family roots and began returning to the Jewish people through the Jewishness of Yeshua. A former Bible Institute professor, he has a diploma in Bible and Linguistics, a BA in Bible from The King's University, a Master's degree in Hebrew Bible from Regent University, and is currently a Master of Theology student at Dallas Theological Seminary. He served in South America and Papua New Guinea, and is the author of Free To Be Fruitful, a book on the Torah's foundations for healing and freedom. His areas of academic research include the book of Leviticus, biblical agricultural metaphors, and the study of linguistic and thematic allusions between the Hebrew and Apostolic Scriptures. He and his best friend and wife, Michelle, have six children. Joey relaxes by being musically creative, doing some cooking, and playing sports with his boys.
