Starting from scratch, Alvin has built SKILLED Nation into a $10M national leader in the workforce and skilled scholarship space – one that functions at the intersection of business strategy, philanthropy, advocacy, and public policy. His unique background includes each of those elements.  He served as a global strategy consultant, national fundraiser, and Capitol Hill staffer. He more recently served as a senior fellow at the United States Naval Academy and is a New York Times reviewed author, sought-after public speaker, Eagle Scout, and former NCAA athlete. Alvin founded SKILLED Nation because he believes America's skilled workers deserve champions.
