He has continuously showed an unrelenting work ethic, customer focus, superior creative solutions and without a doubt provided the artistic and creative direction of our $40 million start up business. My certainty that Joel would be an invaluable addition to any organization or project is grounded in three key observations: 1) client feedback on unbeatable quality & timeliness of work 2) Work ethic and 3) being able to provide client solutions with a keen sense on managing our company business objectives.”

Joel willingly accepted new challenges and always seems eager to learn new skills to apply to his already impressive skill set.”
