Financial Advisor

Get to know Joel

What motivates you every day?

To help people make the best financial decisions and help them be the most successful versions of themselves.

If you could instantly master one skill, what would it be?

I wish I could build things. My father is a "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of guy and can work on and figure out practically everything. I am the least mechanically inclined guy you would probably ever meet.

What is a career "low point" that actually set you up for success?

When I was at my previous firm, I realized that I was trained on how to make the agency and company I worked for successful and not necessarily my clients. When I realized that, I knew I had to make a change.

What piece of advice would you give your younger self?

Do not get yourself worked up or upset about things that are outside of your control.

What's a fun fact about yourself?

I can cook really well and enjoy doing it.
