Since 2002

Joseph Anthony Reyna (JoeCat®) is a legal systems architect and whistleblower who builds frameworks to hold institutions accountable and restore authorship where it’s been erased. His filings have reached the DOJ, SEC, FTC, and IRS, but he doesn’t see law as only about lawsuits—he sees it as a way to turn memory into structure. When suppression happens, his instinct isn’t just to fight back but to create something that lasts longer than the silence.

​

A descendant of 1767 Spanish land-grant settlers with Iberian, Indigenous Mexican, African, and Sephardic Jewish roots, Reyna grew up seeing how quickly artists and communities could vanish from the record. That lived memory fuels his work across music, technology, and public-interest litigation. From MTV placements and a Beats by Dre externship to lawsuits against Spotify, Google, and the State of Texas, he navigates courts and culture with the same focus: proving that forgotten voices can be preserved and enforced.

​

Through Dreams Over Dollars™ (501(c)(3)), Reyna builds projects that scale—ZenBox housing, platform audits, legal archives, and GlideScape, an LED skating-rink prototype that cities across the U.S. have already asked about. He bases where projects are built on economic incentives and civic alignment, ensuring they’re sustainable both financially and culturally.

​

At his core, Reyna isn’t chasing the last word—he’s building the first filing, the one that forces memory back into the record.
