Joseph Stallcop was born in Saratoga Springs, New York, on May 7, 1996, to John and Julie Stallcop. When Joseph was young, his father was a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy and thus their family moved several times before eventually settling in Gales Ferry, Connecticut where he was raised. He attended Saint Bernard School, a Catholic private school in Uncasville, Connecticut, from the 6th grade through high school. In 2014, Joseph moved to New Hampshire to attend Keene State College.
In 2016, a few weeks after his election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Joseph travelled to Cannon Ball, North Dakota to participate in the demonstrations on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline Project along the Missouri River. In a written press statement, Joseph referenced his time and experiences there as an influence in his joining the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire.
In 2017, Joseph began the website Skill of Living, which he devotes his time to create educational and motivational articles. He is also an author and filmmaker.
