Before IntegriCom, Joel honed his skills for about two decades, largely with Oglethorpe Power Corporation, one of Georgia's largest privately owned companies and the largest power supplier to the state's Electric Membership Cooperatives. He founded IntegriCom as a hobby before it grew enough to prompt his departure from the corporate world.
