Joel Hall has joined Guide Financial Group after serving for six years as a police officer for the Ankeny Police Department.  He has a passion for helping people and found the most rewarding part of his job was helping children caught in the middle of a crisis. After an evaluation of his long-term personal and professional goals, Joel left the force to serve others in a different way. He will now use his passion for helping people through his career in the financial industry. He hopes to help individuals and families achieve long-term financial success. Joel is gifted at connecting with people exactly where they are and communicating information that is relevant to their situation. He looks forward to helping clients discover their financial goals and providing them with the tools necessary to pursue those goals.

Joel grew up in Urbandale and is a graduate of Iowa State University. He and his wife, Angela, have four children. In his spare time, he enjoys swinging on swings and playing on the slides at the park. Of course, his daughters Natalie and Charlotte tag along on these trips, too. You can also find Joel relaxing and watching sports with his twins, Greta and Cooper. And on the rare occasion that all four of his children are napping at the same time, Joel himself likes to sneak naps in on Sunday afternoons with football on in the background. This might be why he admits he cannot live without Diet Mt. Dew or coffee. Joel believes the Des Moines area is a great place to raise a family and he looks forward to serving its residents.
