Joel Gunderson
Gresham, Oregon
Hailing from the great state of Or-y-gun, Joel has set his sights high and his standards lofty. He has a diverse -- eclectic, if you will -- background, spawning over many fields.
Only one is his true passion, though. It's what drives him.
The world is changing. Everything is streamlining, and as cliché as it sounds, Joel is a big believer that if you're not out in front of the change, you're already behind. That's why he's fascinated by the Digital trends, and how we can integrate them within the sports realm.
Through hard-work, generous opportunities -- and some good old-fashioned luck -- Joel has had many great opportunities bestowed upon him. He has collaborated with New York Times Best-Seller Jeff Pearlman, worked with Pac-12.com, lived the dream at ESPN, and currently helps the Portland Trail Blazers be awesome.
But this is just the start for him. Because he wants more. He wants to lead the charge.
He wants to BE the trend.
