Joel worked as a professional in the field of engineering for over 13 years. During that time, he discovered a passion for thinking outside the box and working with teams of people to bring solutions to the industrial world. Joel eventually realized a deeper passion to help others, using similar tools, in their path to emotional health and restoration. He has a Master’s certificate from Multnomah Seminary and a Bachelor of Science degree from LeTourneau University and most recently has become a Certified Professional Recovery Coach. He has also benefited from the SRS training provided by the Sage Hill Institute.

At an early age, Joel learned how to isolate and hide his heart which led to depression and addictive behaviors. Today, Joel is passionate to help other men recover the life they’ve lost and the life God desires for them, by learning to live from the heart. Joel and his wife, Amy, moved to Nashville in 2016 to work with Tin Man. They have visited over 22 national parks, sharing their love of adventure and exploring new places. Someday Joel plans to ride motorcycles again…when the time is right!
