Israel Joffe was born and raised in NYC and spent most of my life there before moving to DC in 2016..

 While working at Starwood Hotels as a Senior Project Manager and at Fox 5 on weekends as Senior Web Producer/social media manager I served for many years as a firefighter in the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire department and served during Hurricane Sandy.

  In 2017, I received my black belt in Brazilian Juiitsu from UFC Hall of Famer Matt Serra. I also trained for many years with WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz and still occasionally help with his digital content.

 I am an entrepreneur involved in various start-ups and also work at the FDA in DC, the Food and Drug Administration
