Meet Joel

Behind every claim is a real person, a real family, and a real story.

My faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life and the reason I try to lead with honesty, compassion, and care.

I am also a single father to one child whom I love with everything I am. Like many families, I understand what it means to carry responsibility, face uncertainty, and want the very best for the people you love.

Through Forerunner Collective, I help individuals and families identify and recover funds that may rightfully belong to them. My goal is to make the process feel less overwhelming by offering clear communication, careful research, and respectful guidance every step of the way.

I never want anyone to feel like just another case or number. I want the people I serve to know they are working with someone who understands that behind every claim is a real person, a real family, and a real story.

At Forerunner Collective, our purpose is simple: to serve people with integrity, compassion, and excellence while helping prepare the way forward.
