travels with Joey and plays the stand up bass in their bluegrass
band. Getting to meet her is a strong reason to have Joey for your
event.
They have two children, Stephanie and Jay. Stephanie and her
husband, Dale who is an educator, have two children Preston and
Kimberlin. Stephanie is a professional personal trainer and manages
a Christian gym for ladies. Jay is working on his Doctorate of
