Since receiving my Master’s Degree in Aquatic Biology from Central Michigan University in 1988, I have travelled the U.S. extensively as a corporate and private environmental consultant working on some of the largest natural gas pipelines constructed in the country. This experience allowed me to work closely with corporate executives, federal agencies, project design engineers and field construction staff.

Began a career shift that has included working with Primerica Financial Services since 2003.  This helped me transition in to coaching. I continued my career shift and began working in the business and executive coaching arena. That included working for ActionCOACH and becoming a founding partner of the John Maxwell Team.

In 2014, I founded Corporate Memory Solutions. I understand the need for systems and processes to be in place for individuals and companies to be successful. 

In 2014, I also started Teach Your Business to FISH, the premise behind this was to use my passion for fishing and running business and merging them together. I believe I have a unique way of looking at business and assisting business leaders take their companies to waters they have never seen or imagined. 

Since I have started my coaching business I have helped multiple companies transform their businesses from one to two man shows into those hiring multiple people. A few of my clients have achieved their goal of building a company and selling it to ensure their families financial future.

In 2014, Joel Louis decided to merge his love of fatherhood and
entrepreneurship into a movement called Startup Dad Headquarters. Through this project, he interviewed over 140 successful entrepreneur dads in order to find the secret formula to building a 6 figure business without losing your family in the process.

In 2016, Joel took everything he learned and launched a full-service webinar production agency, which would eventually become Integrator and Co. Within 15 months, he had grown his agency to a 6 figure business with 3 employees. Today, Integrator and Co. is a premier digital marketing firm focusing primarily on designing, building, and repairing funnels for established entrepreneurs.

Joel’s family is his WHY and the reason he enjoys being an entrepreneur who has the ability to create the life he wants for his family. Joel lives in the Greater Boston Area and enjoys CrossFit, dancing, and spending time with his three lovely daughters and his wife Koleen.
