Joey Zuray Wiki- Age, Childhood, Sisters
Joey Zurah was born on the 27th of July 1990, in Tanana, Alaska, a town of around 200 inhabitants located just 60 miles from the Arctic Circle.
Joey is the son of Stan and Kathleen Zuray, and has three sisters – Monica, Kathlyn, and Ariella. Having been born in the remote Alaskan mountains, and growing up in chilling weather, he learned how to survive at an early age with the help of his father, who came to Alaska from Boston, Massachusetts. He didn’t have a formal education, but learned all the skills needed to survive, including the Althabascan ways of subsistence living.
Career
A somewhat inexperienced hunter, Joey became a cast member of the “Yukon Men” at its premiere, which aired on the 24th August 2012. As the show progressed, Joey’s skills improved and he was able to sustain himself from his own endeavors. Other cast members included Joey’s father Stan, then Charlie Wright, who is a water-plant operator, mechanic, trapper, and hunter, his son Robert Wright, James Roberts and the Moore family, consisting of the patriarch of the family Pat Moore, his children Thomas and Courtney Agnes, and his wife Lorraine.
Rise to Prominence
Joey became one of the most popular characters in the show appearing in all episodes until the cancelation of the show in 2016. The ultimate season brought cameras to one of the largest Alaskan wildfires, which nearly destroyed the town of Tanana. The settlers had to undergo big changes and even harsher conditions in their way of life after successfully putting out the fire, as there wasn’t enough wood, meat, and even water to live as before. With the last season, Joey became an international star and everyone supported him and his efforts to protect his family.
Over the course of the series, Joey faced a number of dangerous situations, including hunting a bear, avoiding falling into the icy water, and various other life-threatening situations. This only increased his popularity with the fans.
Although the show stopped airing in 2016, Joey is still a prominent personality all over the world, and he is featured in his father’s documentary “Stan’s Project”, which is yet to be released, as financial problems were encountered, and the entire project is currently on hold. You can contribute to the project on their Kickstarter page.

Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Stan didn’t like the neighborhood he grew up in and succumbed to drug addiction and petty theft, which got him into big problems.
He found a way to move to Alaska, as he had always been interested in remote life, so it was very easy for him to settle in the mountains of Alaska. His wife, Kathleen, at first didn’t follow into this new adventure, but eventually decided to come and live in Tanana. Since 2012 they have become international stars thanks to the show “Yukon Men”.

His wealth has also benefited from the sales of the book “Carry On: Stan Zuray’s Journey from Boston Greaser to Alaskan Homesteader”, published in 2017 and co-authored with Tim Attewell,. The book is about how he got to Alaska in the first place, following his struggles while living in Boston.
