Louis Post-Dispatch and sings second tenor in Vocal Edge. He is originally from outside Chicago, which makes him the lone (and loathed) Cub fan in the group. In college, he led Colgate University’s men’s a cappella group, The Colgate Thirteen. There, he earned the nickname, “Joel A Cappella” for his sometimes unbearable obsession with the genre. After finishing journalism school at Mizzou and moving to St. Louis in 2005, Joel joined the three-time world champion Ambassadors of Harmony men’s chorus. Joel also likes running, photography, beagles and pretty much any brand of bourbon.
