Joel was born in Mt. Vernon and has lived in central Ohio all but one year of his life. He graduated from Otterbein College and has worked in radio ever since. 610 WTVN is the station he grew up listening to and longed to work for. Joel's now been at 610WTVN over ten years and is one of the founding members of the Big Bass Brothers. He also makes regular summertime appearances on the radio station as “Dr. Golf”… a role he truly enjoys, as golf is a life-long interest. He plays regularly and spectates whenever time permits, especially during The Memorial and the Wendy’s Championship.
In his own words:"I promise to work daily to deliver entertainment, information, and things uniquely Columbus from 9am to Noon on 610WTVN. Bob Conners and John Corby each encouraged me to be myself on the air which is good, because that’s all I know how to be. Thanks for listening and if you have time, give a call or e-mail. - Joel
