Founder &

Chief Policy Strategist

Raised in a small town and the first in his family to attend college and then law school, Joel brings a distinctive blend of legal training, business development expertise, and cross-industry experience spanning technology integration, manufacturing, design, and financing.

Three years providing executive protection during legislative sessions offered rare behind-the-scenes insight into how policy is shaped, debated, and influenced—perspective that now informs strategic advising and policy intelligence work.

Known for exceptional information processing, relationship-building, and ethical social engineering, Joel turns conversations into opportunities and partnerships into impact. His award-winning media work and knack for integrating emerging technologies into traditional industries reflect a talent for transforming complexity into strategy.

With a proven record guiding major projects, securing financing, navigating regulatory landscapes, and collaborating with government bodies, Joel brings observant leadership, creative problem-solving, and a forward-thinking approach to every engagement. 

Above all, Joel is driven by a commitment to help marginalized and underrepresented communities make their voices heard in the policy decisions that affect their lives.  That is why he founded Reynvaan Strategies—to create a modern policy practice where legal insight, legislative understanding, innovative tools, and ethical decision-making converge to help clients navigate complexity with clarity and confidence.
