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.
