The Access Road: True Tales of a Vagabond Veteran, is the 40+ year chronicle of Jay Joseph, a small-town Philly kid who was thrust into the largely obscure segments of life when he suddenly gave up his dream of being in the entertainment industry and, instead, joined the United States Marine Corps. From there, his road to self-discovery, peppered with stints as a professional spy, party band drummer, stand-up comedian and full-time lover of all things taboo, pushed him into a wild journey awash with both trying times, as well as decadent years of debauchery.

After 20+ years of insanity, as the global pandemic raged on, Jay stopped and took the time during "The Great Reset" to rethink his own life, reevaluate his goals and, in his self-exploration, realized he had a unique story to tell. A story that went against norms. A story that was unorthodox, exciting and varied. But Jay also realized that everyone else has their own stories, and now, he is encouraging others, particularly veterans, to tell their tales of woe, success, sadness and inspiration - whatever their case may be - in the hope that some will find relief in the cathartic release of self-awareness.

This is Jay's story, and although it's not for everyone, it's definitely a wild, fun, roller coaster of a ride for anyone to enjoy and learn from.

So, sit back and enjoy the ride!
