From age 14 to 15, Joel detasseled each summer, switching over to building grain bins from age 16 to 22 until graduating from college. He attended the University of Iowa where he went to film school and has worked on many film sets and does his own videography. Not long after college, he worked as an independent contractor for years for several hog sites taking care of and choring for as many as 20,000 hogs daily. In 2020, he got his real estate license and uses his knowledge in photography and videography to apply himself for marketing homes, acreages, and farmland. As a licensed drone pilot since 2019, he utilizes the sky as a point of view advantage for sellers and potential buyers.
