Joe Spinello Biography
Joe Spinello was born in Montréal, Canada (April 24, 1967). His parents are from Sicily (Italy) and taught him to speak both Italian and their local Sicilian dialect.
Joe started training for bodybuilding when he was 16 but had played other sports before then, like hockey, baseball, and football. Six months after he started training he competed in his first bodybuilding show. Joe got his Pro Card in 1992 when he was 25 and, although he did not compete very often, he was in great demand for photoshoots! Magazines loved the way Joe looked.
He stopped competing because he wasn’t happy with the way the sport was developing, and he didn’t want to get sick. His honors in bodybuilding are IFBB Jr. World Champion (Mr. Universe), IFBB Mr. Canada 1987, 1989 1991.

He’s also an IFBB judge at the national and international level, and a Pro judge as well.
