About Joel
Joel Waldman joined the KGUN 9 On Your Side team in June 2007.
He wandered into the desert from the tropics of Miami where he was a reporter for the CBS station. Joel also worked for the ABC affiliate in West Palm Beach. Previously, he spent five years reporting from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange for First Business, a nationally syndicated business program. Joel began his television career as an NBC Page and then as a producer for NBC, MSNBC and CNBC.
Joel graduated with honors from Brandeis University. He also holds a master’s degree from The Bank Street College Graduate School of Education in Manhattan. Before television, Joel taught underprivileged kids in a Head Start program in Washington Heights, New York.
In his spare time, Joel does NOT take long walks, play guitar or read poetry. But he ponders life and spends a ton of time with his beloved dog, Mabel Rose.
