Joel joined (er, rejoined?) the Texas FilmWorks team in 2025, having worked as a production assistant for TXFW from 2018-2021. He graduated Texas A&M University with a degree in architecture, which has inspired a lot of his approach, particularly as it relates to light and space. He loves storytelling, playing music, and wearing all black, which corresponds with his love for moody, emotive, and contemplative imagery. Joel most enjoys spending time with his wife Olivia and his many siblings.
