Following health challenges that ended his federal service, he turned to entrepreneurship, founding several brands—some successful, others instructive in failure. Yet through every season, his pursuit of truth remained at the center. Each chapter of his journey has shaped his voice: investigative, reflective, and unwavering.

Now, after decades of training, field experience, and God-given wisdom, he has recognized his true calling—Watchman with a heart in Apologetics. He is devoted to the awakening of other Watchmen while defending biblical truth in a time of spiritual confusion, through both non-fiction and allegorical storytelling. His upcoming works include A House Divided, a bold examination of division in the Church and the call to Gospel-centered unity, and The Scroll of the Seven Watchtowers, a prophetic allegory that explores spiritual awakening through layered symbolism and scriptural reflection.

Through his writing, Juel Mendez invites readers into the tension between deception and discernment. He writes not merely to inform, but to awaken. His voice carries the weight of a man who has seen systems falter, ideologies fail, and truth buried—yet still believes redemption is possible. With every page, he calls the reader to examine the world more carefully, and to return to the One who holds the ultimate answer.

About

Juel Mendez is a former United States Marine, seasoned Federal Agent, and licensed Private Investigator with over 25 years of combined experience in law enforcement, intelligence, global operations, entrepreneurship, and spiritual discernment.

His journey began with a four-year tour in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he developed the discipline and endurance that would carry him through the next phase of his life in law enforcement. From Police Officer to Special Deputy to Federal Agent, he climbed the ranks with determination and resolve. In his federal role, he conducted international operations that brought him face-to-face with complex realities across the globe—visiting countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Greece, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, Turkey, India, Israel, Iraq, Iran, and several African nations. These experiences exposed him to both the beauty and the brokenness of the world—and stirred in him a deeper hunger for truth.
