Bio	He is a former professional tennis player from the United States. Joelson was born in Georgia and grew up in Portland, Oregon, attending Aloha High School. At age 12 he chose tennis. He won the state high school boys singles tennis championship for the second year in a row in 1979 while at Aloha high school. While playing a junior tournament in Texas at the age of 17 he caught the eye of the Texas A&M University coach who was in attendance to watch another player. From 1979 to 1983 he attended Texas A & M. on full scholarship – received all SE conference honors, and played collegiate tennis in the Southwest Conference. For the remainder of the decade he spent several years as the head pro at a Mercer Island tennis club and made an attempt in 1987 to play on tour, but was only able to feature in satellites. Joelson made a return to the professional circuit in 1991 and that year reached the main draw of an ATP Tour tournament for the first time at the age of 29, the doubles at the OTB International Open in Schenectady. At the same tournament in 1992, he and partner Richard Matuszewski reached the doubles semi-finals. He played in the men's doubles at both the 1992 Wimbledon Championships and 1993 Australian Open, both with Mike Bauer. At Challenger level he was a losing doubles finalist on four occasions. As a singles player he never featured on the ATP Tour but did qualify for the 1993 Wimbledon Championships. In the qualifiers he started with tight wins over Clinton Marsh and Kenny Thorne, the latter match decided 11–9 in the final set, before securing a spot in the main draw with a straight sets win over Mark Knowles. In the first round he came up against Israeli Amos Mansdorf, who had a world ranking of 28. Joelson began well and got to a two set lead, before Mansdorf fought back to claim the third in a tiebreak and the final two sets 6–3, to eliminate the American and book a second round match-up with Stefan Edberg. He was ranked number 1 in men’s open singles in the Northwest 7 times between 1985 and 1999. After retiring he spent some time as a traveling coach of the Jensen brothers, Luke and Murphy. He won the USTA Father & Son Hard Court Championships in 2008 for the 6th straight year with his son Brett Joelson. Brian is currently a part time tennis professional at the Charbonneau Tennis Club in Wilsonville Oregon. He has been working in the financial industry for more than two decades, currently he is the VP at Umpqua Investment Inc. in Portland.
