Joel received extensive training as a captive agent with the retail channel of Genworth Financial the industry leader in long term care insurance. Joel was a member of Genworth’s Pacific Northwest Regional Office out of Tukwila, WA between 2011 and 2015. He was one of about 450 captive agents for Genworth nationally. At the time Genworth was the largest provider of long term care insurance in the United States and the PNW regional office was the #1 ranked Genworth office in the US.Â
Joel was also affiliated with the Spokane office of Northwest Planning, Inc., between 2015 and 2019.

Joel was an Endorsed Local Provider (ELP) for Dave Ramsey in Spokane, North Idaho, Montana and Western Wyoming. Joel also was the founder of the Spokane Elder Resource Team which gave free public workshops about long term care planning throughout the greater Spokane area between 2014 and 2018.Â
