In the continued series entitled “Know Your Rotary Members”, this article features Berlin Rotary member Joel Gerth.  Joel recently joined the Berlin Rotary Club about a year ago as he was looking for a club that would give back to the local area. 

Joel was born in Milwaukee the son of Ralph & Pearl Gerth.  Shortly after his birth the Gerth family along with 2 brothers moved to Berlin.  Joel attended St. John Lutheran grade school and graduated from Berlin High School.

Upon his high school graduation Joel attended the U.W. Milwaukee for a degree in engineering.  Prior to graduation Joel took a job with Electronic Industries of Oshkosh and was then later hired by Hark Com Communications to repair Motorola radios.

Joel’s career path changed when he became a lieutenant in the Green Lake County Sheriff’s Department when he continues to work today.  Joel is very proud of his son Jordan “he’s the best son a father could have” stated Joel. Joel has always lived by the motto “a positive attitude makes a difference.”
