Meet the Business Owner

Joel M.

Business Owner

Joel was born in Paris, France. His family moved to Africa when he was young, and there he grew up surrounded by the magnificent wildlife. He spent a lot of his youth out in the jungles hunting snakes, alligators and other creatures. His survival skills were honed by his many African and Malgache friends.

The lure of the French Riviera drew Joel and his family. He went on to open a real estate company. However his plans changed in 1995 when he won a green card which enabled him to emigrate to the United States. Without hesitation, he packed up the family and moved overseas. Joel chose Florida as he enjoys the heat and humidity; so reminiscent of his youth.

His choice of lifestyle led him to the Oviedo area where he could live in the country and keep his horse. On a morning walk one day he discovered that just five minutes away was the Black Hammock Restaurant along the lovely Lake Jesup with it’s many mangroves and alligators. Now he knows he is in paradise!
