Joel D. Pyle II
Business Manager
Joel D. Pyle II has been involved in the construction and development process for several decades. As the Business manager of IBEW, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, he has a wealth of knowledge in the trades. One of the things that Joel wanted to share with everyone, was the fact that his goal is to help the community build a better and safer tomorrow. As much as we would love to see our union trades get work, it is also very important that work is being done correctly and doesn't have to be redone. We just want a seat at the table, that is all. We work with all of the trades and can point you in the right direction. We want to help by letting the communities know we can. Joel would also like to share the apprentice program with everyone. The trades offer an exceptional apprentice program and they are currently accepting applications. Building a future in the trades industry is extremely rewarding. You can make a great living and take your knowledge with you everywhere you go.
