    Biography

    Joe is a 5' 10" lean yet muscular Caucasian man with shaggy, curly brown hair that nearly touches his shoulders. Unkempt and unshaven with the whispers of a weak beard around his chin area and the constant smell of ocean water, the man would probably be Saltine cracker white if he didn't spend every waking moment outdoors, which has resulted in an over-toasted cracker effect. He is handsome in appearance despite his faded, weather-worn clothes often causing him to be mistaken for a bum. Those who know Joe well have stopped trying to tie him down, instead accepting that the only way his sparkling eyes and big infectious smile can be maintained is by letting his mind and body be as free as the wind and the waves.

    Joe's father is a self-centered billionaire who's family fortune is rooted in the the U.S. defense industry. At age 20, after completing a bachelor's in Kinesiology at Harvard in fulfillment of his promise to his late mother, Joe denounced his family's shallow lifestyle and the violent conflicts that they profit off of in the pursuit of human connection, minimalism, and peace. Joe has a younger brother (Sebastian Von Barish) and sister (Joanna Von Barish). He knows several languages, can code switch to the upper class, and is penniless by choice--making money via tips for teaching free surf lessons and occasionally busking. He traveled extensively as a boy and continues to do so as an adult, now without a private jet and a silver spoon.
