Below is a list of five facts Reality TV World has compiled about The Bachelorette Season 20 contestant Joey Graziadei.
Joey’s life is “truly paradise,” according to ABC
After graduating from school, Joey quickly realized the corporate world wasn’t for him.
The bachelor therefore moved to Hawaii to pursue his passion of teaching his favorite sport, tennis.
Joey spends his days with his students on the court, and then at night, he goes to the beach and watches the sunset with friends. However, Joey wishes he had a woman to share that with.

The Bachelorette bachelor is looking for an adventurous partner, just like himself
Joey is hoping to find a woman who is outgoing, friendly and loyal.
He is always up for an adventure, and so his future wife must be pretty spontaneous and up to the challenge — certainly not a homebody.
The bachelor, who has a giant palm tree tattoo on his forearm as well as other ink on his body, also enjoys golfing and spending time with family and friends.
Family apparently means the world to Joey
When Joey was in kindergarten, his dad bravely came out as gay.
Joey says that his father’s public outing made him more loving and accepting, and he’s clearly supportive of his father’s sexuality.
Joey earned his Bachelor’s Degree from a college in Pennsylvania
Joe attended West Chester University of Pennsylvania from 2013-2017.
He graduated with a major in Communication and Media Studies.
