J
oel Alligood had a choice. He could have
become the next country music icon, or he
could help develop frederick indoor sports
center, Frederick, MD into the state-of the-art
facility it has become.
When he made his way onto the
television show X Factor, he was
told, "Prepare for a long run. You're
definitely going to make top 10. You're
probably going to finish in the top two.
You have a chance of winning this."
But his daughter was attending college
in Maryland, and he needed to support
her. "My daughter's education came
first," Joel says.
So he began looking for jobs in Maryland. He
went online to see what was available. "Tony
wasn't even advertising for anything, but this
was up my alley."
