Early life
Joseph Mark Trohman was born into a Jewish-American family in Hollywood, Florida. He later moved to South Russel, Ohio which is East of Cleveland. Joe played the trombone as a primary school student, before picking up the guitar at age 9. In 1996, the family moved to Illinois and Trohman attended New Trier High School in Winnetka, IL. After Trohman got out of school, he played in various bands, until 2001.

Pets
Joe on his apperence on MTV's Cribs states that Joe has pug named Sukka. But truthfully, Sukka, alothough adorible was just for show. Joe has a cat and is extremly close with Pete Wentz's dog, Hemingway.


Career
In 2001, Trohman formed the band Fall Out Boy along with close friend Pete Wentz. Each had been active in the Chicago hardcore scene and Joe had filled in as a bassist during a tour with Wentz' band Arma Angelus. Joe met Patrick Stump in a Borders Bookstore,[1] and after bonding over a mutual interest in the band Neurosis, he convinced Stump to audition for the band.[2]. Two other Chicago musicians were recruited; T.J. Raccine on guitar and a drummer simply credited as Mike. These two only participated for a very short time. The subsequent addition of drummer Andy Hurley completed the current quartet.

Equipment
Trohman has used many guitars during his career. In the Take This To Your Grave days, he was seen using the Gibson Les Paul guitars. During From Under The Cork Tree, Joe mainly used Fender Telecasters. Currently, Joe Trohman is endorsed by Washburn Guitars, with whom he has his own custom shop models.[3] He used the guitars often on the "Black Clouds and Underdogs" Tour. As seen during the American Grammys, Joe used guitars based on the Infinity On High graphics. His main guitar now is his own Washburn signature model. His backups are sometimes stock Pilsens and stock Idol 66PROs.
