Joel is a tough, spirited competitor who is always looking for an edge, a way to improve. His background has provided him with proven ideas and management strategies that work in any setting. If you are looking for a person who is dedicated to winning as a TEAM, to always keep you in the game, Joel is your man. Above all I count him as a great friend and co-worker, someone who I can count on at any time in any situation.
