The Team

Joe Cloud
President and ceo

I am the Founder, President and CEO of Cloud of Joy Entertainment, (COJET). I opened the business in 2016 and it’s based on the Bible Scripture Nehemiah 8:10, Psalms 98:4 and James 1:1-2. 
​
I am from San Diego and reside in San Francisco. I am an ordained Elder in the Church of GOD in Christ (COGIC), and I Co-Pastor in support of my Father Pastor James Cloud and Mother, First Lady, Ladymary Cloud at Christ-like Ministry Church of GOD in CHRIST in San Diego, 
I graduated from San Francisco State University (SFSU) with an undergraduate degree in Liberal Studies in Social Science and Black Studies and a Master Degree in Communications with emphasis in Multi-Cultural Media and Stage Production. While attending SFSU, I was privileged of being trained under the tutelage of great administrators in the Career Center as a student coordinator assisting in our campus wide Career Fair and as a manager that ran and developed an after school summer program that gave high school students a chance to create through the arts, which enhanced their ability to achieve excellence academically. I also worked in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) as a mentor in their Mentorship Program. 

My background in Broadcasting, Theater Arts and Event Technology began as a student producer and leader at (SFSU) as well. I have produced projects and special events such as gospel concerts, stage plays and programs that create awareness regarding the world we live in. I was also selected by the Dean of students to be part of a seven member committee to produce the first Official Annual SFSU African American Graduation Ceremony. 
I have always had a passion for Broadcasting and the performing arts which has continued professionally. I worked in productions as a technician and camera man for WCIV Channel 4 News in Mt. Pleasant SC, and KTOP Channel 10 Public Broad cast station in Oakland. I started my Event Technology experience in San Diego as an Audio Visual Technician matriculating into Management with the Marriott Hotel. There, I gain valuable experience as a Human Resources Facilitator conducting orientation and guess response classes. I ultimately moved on as a Freelance technician working for major companies on corporate events, private businesses and Non Profit organizations. In 2009, I move back to San Francisco and continued in the field of event technology. 

Producing and performing in the theater is my passion and it brings me ultimate joy. Seeing people inspired with joy while exercising my gift on stage is life changing and gives meaning to my life.  In the Theater, I was casted as a field hand in the play Purlie the Victorious, the scare crow in “The Wiz”, Martin Luther King Jr. in My Living Heritage and several others as well as provided technical and stage support for various theater productions. I have produced several Christmas and Gospel Concerts that have been held at venues such as the Parc55 Hilton Hotel, Santa Clara Convention Center, Holy Names University and the California Center for the Performing Arts Escondido, which featured artist like Dalon Colins, former lead singer of Kirk Franklin and the Family and Duranice Pace of the famous Pace Sisters and others.

My life is motivated by the spirit to serve just as JESUS came into the world to serve. Martin Luther King Jr. said that “If a man hasn’t found a cause in life higher than himself worth dying for than he hasn’t found a cause in life worth living for” I recognize that the call in my life has lead me through a path which has solidified the cause of purpose which has prepared me to engage in such away and I’m honored to GOD for the privilege.  
Receiving your support as my team and I strive to build up this Entertainment Business would encourage us deeply. We look forward to being a great influence in our community. With GOD’s help your support through Donations, Sponsorships and attending as many COJET events will no doubt be the catalyst for our success. Please keep Cloud of Joy Entertainment in your prayers and stay encouraged.        
Remember, maintain the Joy of the LORD, which is your strength.                                                                           GOD BLESS

Pete Sathianathan
EXECUTIVE Director of operations

My name is Peter Sathianathan and I am originally from the beautiful island of Sri Lanka . I attended school at San Jose State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a  concentration in finance. My background and experience are in finance and  product management. I have also took extended learning courses at Stanford University. I have worked as an associate product manager for startup company writing product requirement documents and competitive analysis reports. Its been a pleasure working with Cloud of Joy Entertainment as the Executive Financial Administrator. I met our CEO Joe Cloud 6 years ago and it has been a joy building up this entertainment corporation from conception less than a year ago. We are excited and looking forward to sharing what cloud of joy entertainment has to offer. My aim is to help and encourage people to be the best version of themselves.

​One of my favorite quote is from Dr. Martin Luther King. "And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don’t just set out to do a good job, set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead and the unborn couldn’t do it any better. So, if it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, go out and sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Now, here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. Yes, if you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley, But be the best little shrub on the side of the hill, be a bush if you can’t be a tree. If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail. If you can’t be the Sun, be a Star, it isn’t by size that you win or fail, be the best of whatever you are."

So in essences stand up for who and what GOD has called you to be with confidence, Blessed assurance and conviction. Believe it, Be it, live it because, deep down inside as we fellowship with CHRIST, developing that intimate relationship with HIM, you will know it is GOD’s divine province for our lives. I, as a Man of GOD and a member of the Cloud of Joy Entertainment family will be a part of reinforcing that fact through encouragement in GOD’s word.
