Fordham Foundry

Excited when vision becomes reality. Loved working with the Fordham Foundry team of innovators to reimagine what an alumni experience (private NFL Network tour > distinguished alum panel/Q&A of sports, media, film/TV talent > epicurean adventure prepared by the NFL Huddle Chefs & wine and spirits tasting + networking reception) can look like. Fordham gridiron great and Super Bowl icon Vince Lombardi would have been proud of the warm welcome and celebration his alma mater received at the incredible NFL West HQ. Kudos to our merry band of Fordham Foundry alum collaborators Al Bartosic John Murphy Andy Restivo Michael McSherry Emily Pae Lauren Sweeney Eva Fordham and my fellow panelists Michael Yam Katie Conway Andrew H. & Ken Mok for making this a night to remember. An added benefit was exposing my son, Conor Kilcullen, to the insights shared and the incredibly inspiring stories of my fellow alums. Go Rams!

Honored to be included in this special night with Fordham University in Los Angeles. Thank you John Kilcullen for supremely moderating our panel with my fellow Fordham alums Michael Yam Andrew H. and Ken Mok. And Lauren Sweeney Emily Pae and the entire Fordham Foundry team for bringing it all to life!
