Joe's Past

Joe did not have such an easy upbringing. He was born in Garden City, Kansas by the name of Joseph Allen Schreibvogel. His birthday is on March 5, 1963. Joe worked on a farm in Kansas when he was growing up. At only five years of age, Joe was sexually assaulted by an older boy, which has profoundly impacted him throughout his life. He later moved to Texas.

Joe's sexualtiy was outed by one of his siblings. After his parents knew he was gay, he attempted to kill himself by crashing his police cruiser into a bridge, though this was unsuccessful. Over the years, his claims about the wreck have changed, sometimes saying that the car was forced off of the road by another vehicle.
