Joel Hebdon grew up in Idaho where he excelled academically and worked on farms, though several colleges recruited him. He pursued environmental engineering and obtained degrees from BYU and the University of Utah. Today he lives in Utah with his family and works as a management consultant specializing in complex environmental projects.

1. Joel Hebdon grew up in the farmland of Idaho where he served as student manager of his
high school shop, excelled in academics, fly fished and worked on potato farms. Several
eastern and west coast colleges recruited the high school standout, but his interests were
elsewhere and he decided to make a difference in the newly emerging environmental
engineering field.
