Thrown into the pool at an early age on a recommendation from a doctor claiming that it would produce a strong heart for a child suffering from Asthma, Joel spent most of his early years smelling like chlorine. However, his heart did grow strong in more ways than one. For the past 10 years, Joel has committed himself to helping others reach their full potential. He believes that through repetitive training we are able to reprogram the self to achieve better results. He would say, that it takes a conscious effort to want to be better, one day at a time. You can still find him swimming his heart out!
