An eclectic and literate crew
Whip smart and fun, too! Seriously, we've put together a world-class staff to represent the Academy, each well-respected in their individual fields of endeavor–dedicated, experienced, and committed–who together make up a cohesive whole that's slightly bigger and just a bit better than the sum of its parts.

Advisors to die for
In addition to our outstanding Board of Directors, we have put together an excellent team of experienced professionals, valued and reliable advisors who will guarantee the Academy's long-term success and continued influence and relevance.
​
Briefly:
Tom Cataldo, a favorite uncle growing up, and still an invaluable coach, father-figure, champion of all our endeavors, no matter how crazy, and best friend.
Chris Baudoin, is a long-time financial advisor to us and our various entrepreneurial endeavors, who's stuck with us through thick and thin, always offering sober and sane advice.
Another huge influence in our life, especially when we got into trouble, which we did, is our rock-solid legal counsel extraordinaire, Lenny Isaac.
And last but not least, there's nothing boring about the the numbers always adding up, and we have our unflappable accountant, Joel Pleban, CPA, to thank for that.
