Meet Joey…
Career aspirations: Making a lot of money in the shortest amount of time possible. Retire early.
Three words to describe yourself: Confident, diversified, persistent.
Best Spider Moment: Impossible to choose, and that's a good problem to have. Picking one particular moment would take away from the countless memories I have created and enjoyed with all my teammates.
The best nickname on the team: James Lively : Hot Wames/Hotlanta/Jimmy/Daddy Theta. They're all interchangeable… don't ask questions, just appreciate them. The kid has been my roommate forever and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Strengths: Communicating with others.
Toughest opponents: Whoever is next. Take no one lightly.
Working to improve: Communication. Always.
Best sports memory: Clinching an A-10 tournament berth our freshman year.
Favorite meal: Steak, asparagus, Caesar salad.
Favorite ice cream: Cookie dough.
On your playlist: AVICII.
Most embarrassing thing on your playlist: Not too ashamed of any music. Not even Britney Spears, Spice Girls or anything of that sort.
If you have one wish: Never work, produce music and DJ worldwide.
What most people don't know about you: I will dance to anything, anytime, anywhere if I have Jansen Fraser there to dance with me. Go off J Muh.
Hidden talent: Phenomenal singer… by myself, in the car, with the windows up.
Dream car: The most updated Audi A8.
If you could travel anywhere in the world: Ibiza in the summer. Wow.
Favorite class: Cases and Financial Modeling.
Pets: One long-haired, brown dachshund named JJ… the most pleasant company ever.
Hero: Both of my parents. They're the hardest working people I know, reminding me that I never have any reason to complain about what's on my agenda.
Favorite childhood TV show: Sportscenter. “Da da da, da da da” were my first words.
If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive: Dinner with Alex Morgan. Proposal for dessert.
If you could have any superpower: Read people's minds. I would never ask questions or worry about lying ever again. That'd be unreal.
