Joel Sarmiento was born in Colorado, but grew up in southern Illinois. He just recently graduated from the University of Illinois, where he studied General engineering, so basically he's semi-decent at all of the engineering fields. He currently serves as a campus missionary at the University of Nebraska Lincoln where you may find him doing out reach by helping people fix their bikes or playing spike ball on the quad. He also loves praying with people and has been know to pray with police officers...after they have given him a ticket.
