Joseph Tiritilli, aka Joey Jet, exemplifies the success possible in America today by using ambition, a willingness to take risks, and a strong work ethic to make the most of available opportunities.

Joey Jet came up the hard way in Totowa, New Jersey, 15 miles from Manhattan, the heart of New York City. His grandfather was a blacksmith in a Pennsylvania coal mine, his father an honest, hardworking truck driver, and his mother a professional switchboard operator. Joey left school at 16.
