Who is this guy?
A lawyer who decided to write everything down.
Stephen A. Joyce, most people call me Stevie J, is a Connecticut Bar attorney, screenwriter, and the former owner of the Newport Beach Tennis Club, where I spent 23 years running a place that hosted the Davis Cup.
I’ve spent six decades traveling, reading, and figuring out what’s actually worth knowing, about places, about industries, about history, about all the topics where people charge $300 for advice that’s wrong.
The 1,085+ guides are what’s left. They’re how I’d answer if you asked me at dinner.
