Pre-Apocalypse
Joel was born in Chicago, Illinois but moved to Florida when he was 8. He lived in the Bay area until he was 20, he decided to move to Tallahassee. Joel became a mechanic and worked hard. After 5 years of working he became the manager of the shop and buy his own house. When he was 26 he met a woman named Karen. To him it was love at first sight; they got married and had two sons, Dylan and Diamond. Karen and Joel's relationship didn't work out and they got divorced after 7 years of marriage. Karen got custody of the kids.

After the divorce Joel moved to Quincy, Florida and got a job as a contractor. When the outbreak started he insisted to Karen that all of them traveling to Atlanta would be a good idea, so they did.

Macon
While on the road, Joel and his family stopped for gas in Bainbridge. There, they met a small group of survivors traveling to Macon. Joel and Karen made the decision to travel with them. When they got to Macon they were suprised to see that the city was blocked off and there was no entry. Joel and some Bainbridge survivors snuck into the city to go on a supply run. They found nothing but walkers and dead bodies. They returned to the group with nothing and decided to travel north to Atlanta.

Atlanta
Joel's group arrived in Atlanta to find it infested with the dead. The group was forced to get out of the cars and seek shelter in a boarded up coffee shop. NOT DONE!!!!
