Joel started his career in General Dynamics and United Nuclear, where he held various positions over a period of more than a decade.

His next position was at Amira Medical, which he co-founded in 1995 and served as a Chief Technology Officer for.  He founded the company with the intention of developing and commercializing the first alternate site blood glucose monitoring system, AtLast. The company was successfully acquired by Roche Diagnostics in 2001.

In 1999, Joel co-founded another company, Sterling Medivations, where he again served as the Chief Technology Officer until 2001. The company received approval for 24 FDA 510(k)s during a period of a year and a half. At the same time, the company has filed 8 patents in the US, and 5 foreign ones.

From 2001 to 2004, Joel served as the Chief Technology Officer at SimpleChoice, where he was mainly responsible for pushing the regulatory approval and R&D of the organization.  He was behind an additional 4 successful FDA 510(k) clearances, and developed the company’s strategy for 9 SimpleChoice products including the SimpleChoice easy sub dermal infusion technology. Joel also personally oversaw the launching of the company’s manufacturing in the US and Mexico for two separate products.

For the next 8 years, Joel served as the CTO for his next company, Mystic Technology Partners. He founded the organization with the idea of driving new product development through careful, selective partnering, intended to extend the company’s capabilities while leveraging those of other organizations. Various new products were pushed to the market at that time, including products in the field of security marking, RFID, energy and fuel cells, and more. The company additionally developed specialized fuel and battery cells for the US Navy in a successful cooperation project .  The company was sold to Simplified energy solutions.

In 2007, Joel founded eGen, where he presided as the CTO until 2011. The company was first to the market with its low flow hydrokinetic system, which features significant improvements over competing products on the market at the time. The company established a prominent name for itself through its innovations, and was sold to an independent investor group.

At Engineered Carbon Solutions, which Joel founded in 2014, he oversaw the creation of pellets made from a new hybrid material that combined biomass and coal. The product was an improvement in the price department and drew significant attention from multiple sides on the market. Part of that was due to its ability to easily work with the currently available pellet heating stoves and boilers that are popular on the market.
