He more recently served as a senior fellow at the United States Naval Academy and is a New York Timesreviewed author, sought-after public speaker, Eagle Scout, and former NCAA athlete. Alvin founded SKILLED Nation because he believes America's skilled workers deserve champions.

Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High School is a Catholic learning community that educates young people of limited economic means, of any faith or creed, to become men and women for and with others. Through a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, integrated with a relevant work study experience, students graduate prepared for college and life. One of their most successful endeavors is their mentorship program which pairs students with a community member who can serve as an adult guide and resource during the student's high school years. If you're interested in learning more, please contact Ann Curvin at acurvin@christoreyatlanta.org!
