About Joe
Hello my name is Joe Meisch, I served in the Army reserves, Guard and active duty for 13 years as a 12B and 62J.
Since my ETS I created, patented and donated to service members for 10 years a product to solve my own problem of facial muscle tension and calming drug free. The product is called the Meisch Temple Massager. The product is being looked at by several medical and university entities as a drug free calming tool to elicit the relaxation response and a side effect of facial muscle stimulation.
This has been tough for one guy, I served with two men in the Army uniform that gave all therefore I will not give up. I donated over 1,300 Temple Massagers globally for 8 years exclusively to service members and veterans in honor of Pvt Young and SFC Ottolini.
As I went through this process I wrote an analogy to what I was going through and still am now. I wrote a comedy show based on the beating I am taking from brining my product to the world to help service members and veterans. I was invited to Comedy Central with Michael Weinberg a few years ago and we pitched the show, Comedy Central passed but referred us to Spike TV. My agent at the time told me I could have a deal but I needed to be aware that since it was my first piece of work I would make a couple thousand dollars and not see any money for years. I thought I could do better than that independently or with a youtube account and so I passed on the meeting with Spike. Michael now works with Endomal and can no longer work with me.
I am focused on the Temple Massager and look forward to hiring as many veterans as I can and I also look forward to creating and launching a funny show based on my reality and again hire as many veterans as I can for that too.
I am grateful to be part of this community and I am always seeking connections, advice, tips or ideas to advance my products in an effort to continue to honor my friends and those who serve.
Best,
Joe Meisch
