Joseph Strain grew up in the Northwest where he still resides with his family.

 It was watching Disney’s Zorro at a young age that inspired him to take up whip cracking. Joe purchased his first whip when he was ten. He spent as much time repairing as he did cracking the old Mexican bullwhip. Joe thought he could build a better whip and set out to do so. With the help of David Morgan’s book Whips and Whipmaking and much advice from David himself, his skills improved substantially. Joe has made many, many whips since then and each one he builds is better than the last.

 Over 18 years experience of using and making whips goes into each one Joe makes.  His work has appeared in films and is in high demand by top international entertainment professionals.

 He has experience as an entertainer and has appeared at various SASS events as well as being featured on national television (Inside Edition) and in various journal articles.
