Meet JoelJoel Willert is the owner of Joel Willert Fishing and is part of The Sickness Outdoors angler team. He has been competing in bass fishing tournaments since he was in high school. Joel grew up in a small, rural town in northern Wisconsin and was exposed to the outdoors at a very young age. His love for the outdoors has only continued to grow through various activities including camping, hiking, hunting, and golfing, just to name a few. Joel’s commitment to the bass fishing sport stems from his dedication while serving in the Army. Throughout his nine-year military career, Joel experienced two deployments to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom during 2003-2004 and 2009-2010. The military has taught Joel many life lessons that he carries with him throughout all of his endeavors. From following orders, to how to organize his workload, take responsibility, and be a great leader, Joel’s military career has been a critical factor both personally and professionally, and has made him come to realize how much it enriched and influenced his journey. After the military, Joel started his career in the construction industry as a project foreman and then eventually accepted a position as a Facilities Service Manager at City Wide Maintenance. Although Joel enjoyed his time in the construction and service industry, his goal has always been to become a professional fisherman and now has decided to pursue his lifelong dream. Joel is excited to be part of The Sickness Outdoors and help their partners grow their brands while competing at the highest level of professional bass fishing. |
