Joel Houston is a native of Washington State. He has a bachelor's degree in economics and an MBA from Pacific Lutheran University. At the apex of his career, he sold his warehousing business and became a full-time parent. Recently, Joel and Katie relocated to the Jersey Shore, which required a three-thousand-mile drive with two kids, a dog, a turtle, and a boat. When he is not managing the kids' video conference classes (during the pandemic), homework, and activities, Joel writes about trying to survive life. So far, so good.
