About Me

Meet Jobarron

AKA Joe, Red Barron(like the pizza).

I’m grateful that you’ve taken the time to check out my website. My goal, when you leave here is; that I’ve inspired you to take action on your dreams, to look at things in a different light or at least know your not the only ‘Joe’ trying to find the place you want to see yourself in.

To know where I’m going is to know where I’ve been. Let me enlighten you on my story…

Born in February 1987, in New Orleans, to a black re-married older couple; my mother in her lower forty’s and my dad in his early fifty’s, its a wonder how I was even born. Some say surprise baby, some say miracle, my mom said I just hope I see him graduate high school. She wasn’t exaggerating either. Along with there age, they were heavy smokers and my father having a hidden drink I was not to speak of. I remember clouds of smoke in the living room all my younger life. When in 2009 it seemed the U.S. simultaneously came up with the smoking band in restaurants, my only thought was ‘I’ve had second degree smoke all my life and I’m not dead yet’. They lived in a shotgun house and a modest brick home as lower middle class workers. My mother was a teacher and my father was a manager for the cities sign shop. Nothing extraordinary about this couple… so I thought.

My parents owned two rental properties, had vacations to places like Paris, Hawaii, Canada, Jamaica and of course various states in the U.S.A. utilizing a timeshare they owned. I thought they had the life I wanted. I didn’t relize the effort they went through to achieve such a lifestyle. They lived a very modest lifestyle, so that they could enjoy life with style. Now my father says he makes more now RETIRED than he ever did while he was working!

Going through life I didn’t plan as well as my father. After Katrina I decided to reside in Texas. I met my wife as I was turning nineteen, serenading my wife to be with dreams and no real plans or steps. I had my first child at the age of 20, and three by 25. After our second child my wife decided she didn’t want to work and honestly I had a hard time with that. I wasn’t in the place financially or mentally where I hoped to be. Depressed and angry at the cards I was dealt; only I picked the cards up! I made a lot of mistakes along that path, but there’s two things I did. I always saved money and looked for ways to grow where I was. I stayed in the transportation industry for over a decade. I became a big Dave Ramsey advocate where he preaches a debt free lifestyle. I may have evolved from that slightly but I lived the principles as best I could and can say they work. Now I have younger people asking me about how I made it when they here my story and I don’t have a fancy car! No, they want that American Dream! They don’t want to struggle, despite previous or even ongoing mistakes. Thats when something I felt a long time ago inside me ignited. Something that I could be passionate about. I could help people that may have lost there way. Some try to buy there way out of there feelings. Some gamble trying to HIT BIG! Not looking at the thousands of billboards placed in the inner cities to brainwash you into thinking your next, while there offices make government buildings look like section 8 housing. You’ve heard it ‘I just need to feel good’ or ‘All that and I have nothing to show for it!’. When we don’t get the lifestyle we imagined or dreamed of, sometimes we just need help getting back on the right path.

If any of this sounds good, come ride with me! Lets enjoy life but not get caught in all it’s webs holding us back from freedom. The government programs, advertisement at every turn and now social media where you can follow your favorite celeb to get that new thing they bought. Lets live our lives and create our own chronicles!

Awesome quotes to think about
