Out of the office you can find Joel walking around the city taking in the scenes, especially down by the James. He enjoys capturing photos of the city, its skyline and the river - his favorite spots to do so are along the bridges crossing over the James. Joel also enjoys indulging in the local food around downtown. He is committed to expanding his palate with the plethora of downtown eats Richmond has to offer. Some of his favorite spots are: The British Embassy, Buttermilk & Honey, as well as newcomer District Chicken and Gyro!

• Favorite Downtown Attraction: Maggie L. Walker Historic Site because of the history within the exhibit as well as the beautiful outdoor courtyard.
• Downtown Fun Fact: The last alligator housed in the Jefferson Hotel died in 1948, RIP Old Pompey.
