Joel McDow
Joel was born and raised in College Station, Texas, and finished high school in Highland Park, Texas. In 2014, he chose to move to Austin to be close to his family. Joel always loved writing, so the idea of publishing a magazine was right up his alley. You can often find him listening to an audiobook or podcast. Joel trains and competes in powerlifting as well. One thing he enjoys is making his wife laugh and playing endless games of chase with his two daughters. He’s passionate about helping business owners grow their businesses.
