Joel Leineweber

VP of Design & Web Development Design

In the world of website development, there’s a term for a “jack of all trades” type of person who works with everything web technology entails: a full-stack developer. That’s Joel Leineweber’s extensive role at Answers in Genesis.

Starting at AiG in 2004, Joel has spent almost half his life in this ministry. But his connection goes back even further. When he was twelve years old, he met founder Ken Ham at a seminar and got him to autograph the Answers Book.

As a child, Joel had a particular fascination with dinosaurs. He read voraciously on the topic of the Bible and dinosaurs. His father even made him a scale model of Noah’s ark that showed tiny toy animals—including small dinosaur models— boarding. And voilà—today, he works at a ministry that has built a full-size 510-foot-long ark!

Dan Zordel, the VP charged with guiding Joel’s many talents, observed: “Joel is a gifted designer and technology expert who, because he has such a heart for people, loves to share Christ using those talents.” For his part, Joel declares that the biggest blessing of working at AiG is knowing that his work helps people trust God’s Word as the firm foundation for their faith.

Joel and his wife Michelle (who once also worked at AiG) are raising their five children in Northern Kentucky.
