Joel M. Lomnick · Richmond, Virginia

Hi, I’m Joel.

Engineer · Author · Community Builder

I’m a proud Black electrical engineer, author, and the person behind LomnickPro. I design building systems, make complicated information easier to use, and build websites and tools that other people can carry forward.

Faith, brotherhood, music, mentoring, and a good line dance belong to that same life. Some days I’m comparing drawings with a building. Other days I’m helping someone find the count. I care about the people in both rooms.
