Joel Holtzman


I grew up in a rural farming community in Steuben County, Indiana. Chickens, horses, milk cows, hogs, dogs, cats and a wide variety of farm animal were an everyday experience. Four brothers, one sister, and I were raised in a community that looked out after themselves and each other. I was raised with the spirit of what can I do for my neighbor. Cub Scout and Boy Scout experience taught me the importance of being responsible, keeping your word, and looking out for the other guy.

 I graduated from the Indiana University in 1979. In 1980 I moved to Chicago and worked for a construction company until 1983 when I moved to Atlanta. I started a remodeling company in 1986, which I am still operating today. In 1990 I married the love of my life a peach from Jefferson Georgia.

 Serving my community has been a life long ambition and goal. Locally I have participated in and led a group of family men in aiding our community at ACCOR Center (a homeless women with children home), The Delaney House (a State of Georgia children's home). Organized and led a team of men and women to build home for Habitat for Humanity.
