Hi, I'm Joel. My Grandfather invented an Electric Shaker-Conveyor for Metal Stamping, and I'm working hard to keep his legacy alive. I'm also a board member in a Housing Cooperative organization that meets in various locations around the country. I'm very passionate about self-development, and can offer useful ideas and insights on various business and marketing topics. I'm always up for a new adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My business is less than a year old, and I like to road-trip around the U.S. making demonstrations and meeting potential distributors. This site is a great opportunity to meet new people and offer value in any way I can in the local area. I'm always happy to help out with any work or volunteering that you'd like help with. My hobbies tend to be pretty quiet, and I make sure to be respectful of my hosts and leave any place better than when I arrived.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in four different Housing Co-ops, and been involved in various Cooperative conferences and boards. This has led to a diversity of experience and connections, and led to a deep knowledge of how to get along with people and be respectful in a shared living environment.
