Joe is the owner and founder of Paradise, a vibrant haven that blends the carefree spirit of the hippie lifestyle with a sense of community and creative expression. For two decades, Joe served as a dedicated police officer, with a promising career and the expectation of advancing to a high position in law enforcement. Yet, despite the opportunities before him, Joe chose to take a different path, one that would allow him to pursue his passion for freedom and creative living.

​

When asked by a prominent official why he made the decision to forfeit a promising career to become the owner of Paradise, Joe's answer was simple yet profound:

 

"I value freedom. I’m drawn to the hippie lifestyle, and I wanted to do something I truly love."

 

In addition to his role as a business owner, Joe is a devoted father, husband and provider. He is a natural mentor to a diverse and vibrant community of international travelers, artists, and free spirits who have found a home at Paradise. Under his guidance, his establishment has flourished into a place of joy and connection, where people of all ages can come together to share in the arts, enjoy flow arts, and experience the magic of community.

 

Joe’s humble yet revered leadership fosters an environment where creativity, individuality, and the spirit of adventure thrive. He is a steady presence for those who seek not only a place to relax and have fun but also a sense of belonging in a global family of like-minded souls.
