Joseph Fetz was born and raised in Northeastern Ohio. Having been an independent-minded individual for most of his life, he has always dealt with certain incompatibilities of his own with the status quo.

Joseph joined the US Navy in early 2002 and endured two Western Pacific (WestPac) deployments to the Persian Gulf. It was during this time that he began to pay much more attention to statism, the foreign policy of nation-states at large, and the social interaction of humans. After his discharge in 2006, he began working in media production in Los Angeles; finally leaving that industry for another after the 2008 crash: demolition.

Between his experience in the US Navy and his experience in the demolition industry, Joseph has visited 19 countries and 40 states (and numerous cities in each), and has had the opportunity to both interact with and experience a variety of cultures and peoples; always keeping an eye out for what works and what doesn’t. Always being the optimist, Joseph believes that a stateless society is possible within his lifetime (and if not, at least within a generation).

Joseph now resides in Manchester, New Hampshire; the city-center of the Free State Project. He currently works in sales, has been an activist in the community, and is the Lead Coordinator of the Liberty “Make the Move” Pavilion for PorcFest XIII.
