What Does Joey Graziadei Do For a Living? Job? Get to Know the Season 28 Bachelor

When we first met Joey Graziadei during Season 20 of The Bachelorette, there was one thing he seemingly wanted to make clear and that is: the corporate world isn't for him, per his bachelor biography. So, he moved to Hawaii to begin a career based on passion, and it's not even close to where his original career path was heading.

Before switching careers, Joey's work experience states that he worked in Tennessee as a sales development representative at Comdata, from August 2020 to May 2021, and as an account executive from May 2021 to October 2021 at Paylocity. His major career change began the month he left Paylocity, and it's grown from there ever since.

Now that Joey is no longer climbing the corporate ladder, and was cast as the lead in Season 28 of The Bachelor, we're looking into what his job is, and why this change may have worked out in Joey's favor in the end.

After leaving his job at Paylocity, instead of going after another job in the business or communications field, Joey became a tennis instructor at The Ensworth School, which is a private school based in Nashville. After almost a year working for that school, Joey moved to Hawaii, and began his current job as a lifestyle and experience ambassador in July 2022.

Being a lifestyle and experience ambassador at Kukuiʻula on the South Shore of Kauaʻi, Joey describes his job tasks on LinkedIn, which include working with many departments within the club, and building relationships with people through activities such as pickleball, golf, and of course, tennis.

Joey went into this career already having plenty of tennis experience. One of his summer jobs was as a tennis professional at a camp from 2008-2011, where he taught classes to young kids and teenagers. He even ran tennis clinics while attending West Chester University of Pennsylvania, where he played Division II men's tennis.

Audiences will learn more about what makes Joey happy outside his line of work. His biography confirms that he is a fan of the Green Bay Packers, an avid stargazer, and obsessed with golf, and country music.

However, Joey's Instagram appears to share hints about his outgoing personality, as the page contains several photos of him either with friends, family, or doing outdoor activities both on wet and dry land. His followers also get a better look at his tattoo of a palm tree on his left arm, as he shared a photo of when he got the ink on June 20, 2022.

Although Joey made it to the final two on Season 20 of The Bachelorette, Charity Lawson accepted a proposal from Dotun Olubeko, leaving Joey once again, looking for love. Considering the adoration he received from fans during his time on the show, it wasn't surprising that he was cast as the lead in Season 28 of The Bachelor.

The show premiered on Jan. 22, 2024, with new episodes airing Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.

Fans can also follow Joey on his Instagram, where he shares content using the handle @joeygraziadei.
