ABOUT JOEL
"Growing up in small town Nebraska, I fell in love with the outdoors early on as a kid. Picking up a bow at 11 years old, I couldn't get enough of it - and that hasn't stopped since. I created my brand "Whitetail Fit" in early 2016 and have been able to reach hundreds of thousands of people through my videos and writing. I love this so much that I left my job in construction of 12 years to pursue my brand full time ... and what an amazing journey and blessing it has been.
I want to help motivate and inspire others. Bowhunting and fitness are two passions that I have found go very well together. In the woods, on the plains or on the mountain the two passions fuel my drive for success."
Joel's YouTube ChannelWhat are the most important things in life to you?
The most important things in life for me definitely start with my Faith in God. Through my Faith in God and living by His divine purpose in my life has been the cornerstone to all my relationships, tight family group and receiving blessings beyond what I could have ever imagined. Following my Faith is my Family. My family means the world to me and I couldn't imagine life without every single one of my family members. God is good.
Who or what is your greatest source of inspiration?
My greatest source of inspiration is derived from a multitude of sources. I have many inspirations in my life but I would say the greatest of them has been surrounding myself with great people. People who drive me and inspire me to do better, be better and contribute towards a path of mutual growth. Steven Mcbee, Owner of Apex being one of those individuals. Inspiration in life is rooted in great people!
How would you define adventure?
Defining adventure for me is being presented with a challenge. With challenge in life, comes adventure. Jumping into the mountains of Utah to chase high country mule deer with a bow, run and gun style hang and hunts for mature whitetail in the midwest, going into new business ventures with unknown variables on the line, it all requires an extraordinary amount of effort and unique challenges. Adventure is what we strive for in life. Adventure often times will define our legacy.
What's your favorite outdoor memory?
My favorite outdoor memory is 100% without a doubt taking my father on his first ever big game hunt (Whitetail) at the age of 64. I grew up in a family that didn't hunt, let alone bowhunt. I took up the Lifestyle around 11 years old and never turned back. My growth in bowhunting over the years helped lay the foundation for other family members to take interest including my Dad. Although our first hunt together was "unsuccessful" in terms of harvest, it was a monumental success in bonding and exposing my father to the adventure and purpose that hunting provides.
How does your life align with the Apex brand?
The Apex brand stands for Adventure, Outdoors and living a healthy lifestyle. These staple attributes within the company directly align with my vision in life. "Whitetail Fit" was born from my passion for both hunting and fitness. The Apex products are made from 100% natural ingredients, right here in the USA out of small town Missouri. I have personally visited the Meat and production facilities and I am blown away with the level of cleanliness along with knowledge and quality of meat that goes into making the Apex products. That is a company that I can get behind. Within the Apex product the Macronutrients are incredible. High Protein, meat products that taste incredible and easily fit into my everyday life. Apex is what's up
