It depends on which Joel you mean...
Joel the eldest of two sons of Samuel (1 Sam 8:2-3; 1 Chron 6:28)
Joel the descendant of Simeon (1 Chron 4:35)
Joel the descendant of Reuben (1 Chron 5:4,8)
Joel, chief of the Gadites (1 Chron 5:12)
Joel son of Azariah, and father of Elkanah (1 Chron 6:36) -- This is also probably the Joel who assisted Hezekiah in his restoration of the Temple services (2 Chron 29:12)
Joel the third son of Izrahiah (1 Chron 7:3)
Joel the brother of Nathan and one of David's mighty men (1 Chron 11:38)
Joel the head of the family of Gershom, appointed by David to assist in removing the Ark (1 Chron 15:7,11)
Joel the son of Pedaiah, and prince of the half tribe of Manasseh (1 Chron 27:20)
Joel, one of the sons of Nebo (Ezra 10:43)
Joel, son of Zichri, overseer of the Benjamites living in Jerusalem after captivity (Neh 11:9)
or Joel, the son of Pethuel, second of the twelve minor prophets (Joel 1:1, Acts 2:16) "Nothing is known of his life, and all that can be inferred with any certainty from his writings is that he lived in Judah and probably prophesied in Jerusalem. The date of his ministry is also a disputed point; some make him contemporary with Amos and Isaiah during the reign of Uzziah, about 770 B.C., others (Keil, Com.) assign him to the first thirty years of Jehoash."

Wow!
Or are you thinking of another Joel, maybe?

If it was the prophet Joel that you are talking about.
It was Pethuel.
