GET TO KNOW JOE

Descending from a long line of Joe Liparis, many of us have nicknames; mine is JR. By day I am a brand strategist and creative producer who dabbles in academia. By night, and weekend, I do other stuff. 

​

A Veteran of the US Army, an ordained Spiritual Pilgrim, an Outdoor Educator/Expedition Leader, a Strala Yoga Ambassador, and an acknowledged Groucho Marxist who loves when that gets people fired-up about books they've never read. A grand-cousin to comedy legend Fred Allen, irreverent rebellion and slapstick silliness are in my bloodline.

​

I studied zen in Japan, yoga in India and lots of other stuff in other cool places. I am very passionate about life. When I'm not working my backside off to afford  NYC; I lead excursions and pilgrimages into the great wide yonder; hiking, camping, climbing with wellness seekers of all experience levels. Eating, drinking and being merry along the way.

​

Adventure is out there, and it's good for our mental health.
