Father Joe's Monthly Confessional
02/26/26
Arguing with your girlfriend about her lying to you… while you are both sitting on the two bar stools in front of me.
You caught her talking to another man on the phone… and you loose it; complaining that you could no longer trust her.
And just a week ago you told me how easy it was to keep your two girlfriends from finding out about each other.
One girlfriend in Newport Beach and your fiancé in Palm Springs.
Just a thought…sitting in front of Father Joe while drinking and arguing… will not end well and I can't fix stupid... just saying.

My Story
A Professional Bartender
I was taught by some of the best bartenders in the area... but I had an attitude. I was faster than most, not as good as some, but always as fast as I needed to be.... it was that damn attitude. I have owned several bars and nightclubs and have worked in the industry coast to coast; from San Diego to Boston and back. I started as an 19 year old Marine working as a part-time bartender in a local strip club; I grew to manage the 2nd club in the country offering male strippers in 1976, and spent 19 years of my life behind the bar, 4 years as an owner, and the last 15 years teaching, serving and writing about bartenders. Currently... I've been working as an Author, Advisor, Advocate... and still a Bartender.
Executive Management
One of my passions is supporting and training bartenders. I have been the President of the Bartender Advisory Group since July of 2014; and currently own Bartender Diaries, a Registered Trademark used for the writing of my books. I have owned and operated 4 mortgage companies, 2 leasing companies, a catering company, a hair salon, 1 nightclub, 2 restaurants, 2 beer bars; and I have held senior management positions from Manager and Senior Vice President to President... but even my wife of forty plus years will say that being a bartender was always my first love... and the only time I was ever truly happy... so now I'm back at it...
