Therefore, studying theater and film at Tulsa Community College and at the same time, landing my first dream job that was by the grace of God; with on the job experience at Griffin Communication/KOTV News on 6 as a production assistant. Nevertheless, operating the camera and running the teleprompter for the shows. While God had opened the doors for my talents in performance and production to be used in both the college's theater shows, various student films, and even paid work on professional films. Some examples of these are: Persistence of Memory (2003), Painting Shadows (2006), Freaky Faron (2006), Four Sheets to the Wind (2007), Storm (2007), and Deadly Love (2011) - with 'Painting Shadows' being nominated for a best picture award at the Bare Bones Film Festival.

Overall, while at ORU; the things that were most priceless to Joel that he took away from that college experience was the valuable knowledge that was imparted to him, the instilled greatness from the teachers, and the rediscovery of my self. As it was like God was taking all these different directions that my talents was trying to pull him into going; was being harnessed into one direction that he was to focus pursuing, and that being writing.
