About Joey Nelson
This is my personal site. I’ve spent the last 5+ years living in NWA and working for one of the hottest startups in the technology field. Recently I left Rockfish and started my own Mobile Development Company called MobileFWD. We’re working on some really cool apps so check us out at www.mobilefwd.com. Sign up for our newsletter and stay connected.
I was the Creative Director of Mobile & Emerging Platforms at Rockfish, a Digital Innovation Partner that grew up right here in the Northwest Arkansas area. We were a smart group of guys that created a cool culture and an awesome agency from the ground up. Through that process I discovered my internal entrepreneurial mindset and what keeps me moving forward.
I’ve been a part of launching several small companies online like TidyTweet, CouponFactory and even a skate shop in Fort Smith. I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of like-minded individuals through my journey and even some of the coolest companies on the planet like Apple and Google.
Joining a startup has been the best decision of my life and something I would repeat over and over again. Sure, it is long hours and hard work but in the end you can see the thing you helped build and that is “success.”
I recently married the love of my life and we own one of the coolest dogs on the planet. Most people say he looks like a cross between a Wookie and a Muppet, i can dig it. We have spent the last few years in a town we knew nothing about before moving here but, now love more and more everyday because of the people we meet in NWA. The future for us is big I believe and where we go next we have no idea but we’ll keep pushing FWD.
