Joe Sottolano

Joe Sottolano

Joe Sottolano, a New York native, was among the 36 athletes nationwide chosen to try out for Team USA in 1990, marking a significant milestone early in his athletic career. His prowess was further recognized when he earned the title of Most Outstanding Player (MOP) during the 1988 Division III NCAA Baseball National Championship.

Joe has a distinguished 23-year tenure in Division I coaching, 14 of which he served as a head coach. Under his guidance, more than 20 student-athletes have been selected in the MLB Amateur Draft, and he has coached 46 All-Americans. His coaching efforts saw Chris Rowley reach the Major Leagues, a testament to his effectiveness as a mentor and leader.

Guided by the core values of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence—values ingrained during his time at West Point—Joe's approach to coaching has shaped his personal and professional life profoundly.

Joe's journey began at Minisink Valley High School in Orange County, New York, where his exceptional skill earned him the 1986 Times Herald Records Tri-County Player of the Year. He continued to excel at Ithaca College, leading the Bombers to a national championship as a sophomore and earning the distinction of the most outstanding player of the Division III World Series.

After graduating in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science, concentrating in PE Teaching with a minor in Health, Joe embarked on his coaching career at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA. He was responsible for the pitching staff and the team's strength and agility programs, recruiting talented players and setting the stage for future successes.

Joe returned to Ithaca College to earn a Master of Science, further refining his coaching abilities while assisting the baseball team.

In 1992, Joe's career took a significant turn when he joined the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point. Starting as an Army Assistant Coach, he was promoted to Head Coach in 2000. At USMA, he transformed the Division I Baseball Team, surpassing recruitment and fundraising targets and fostering a culture of Excellence and integrity. He managed all on-field instruction, practice schedules, and comprehensive training programs.

As head coach from 2000 to 2013, Joe elevated USMA's baseball program to national prominence, securing multiple NCAA tournament berths for the first time in over a century and becoming the winning coach in the Academy's history.

He managed a substantial annual budget, raised over $4 million through fundraising, and significantly expanded USMA's donor base. His leadership extended beyond the field as he served as the team's brand ambassador on major sports networks.

After West Point, Joe was a lead instructor at the Frozen Ropes National Training Center and later at the Extra Innings Baseball/Softball Facility, where he developed comprehensive training manuals for coaches.

Currently, Joe oversees the physical education curriculum and athletic activities at Holy Family Schools in Alabama, emphasizing ethics, leadership, and Christian values. He also coaches the 14u Southeast Canes Scout team with his sons and works as a sales inspector for Yellowhammer Roofing in Huntsville, Alabama.

Outside of his professional life, Joe enjoys time with his wife, Lori, and their two sons, engaging in hunting and fishing. Committed to his faith and community, he actively supports local charities and provides for people in need, embodying the spirit of service and generosity.

Joe Sottolano's life and career exemplify a commitment to Excellence, integrity, and service. Through his professional achievements and community involvement, he has impacted countless individuals.

Jaser Zaabri

Jaser Zaabri

Jaser Zaabri is an American Jordanian entrepreneur and business executive recognized for his work across construction, disaster restoration, recruiting, real estate, and hospitality investment. He is the Founder & CEO of Evolve Holdings (Investment & Operating Group), a privately held platform that manages and invests in companies operating in multiple sectors.

Born in the United States into a Jordanian family with strong business ties in the Gulf region, Jaser grew up around discussions of trade, construction, and international operations. His father, Munir Zaabri, along with extended family members, was connected with firms engaged in engineering, oilfield services, and commercial trading throughout the UAE and surrounding countries. This early exposure gave him a clear view of how cross-border businesses function and influenced his interest in building companies.

The Zaabri family’s commercial involvement dates back to the early 1970s. Relatives played roles in organizations such as Universal Trading Group, Target Engineering & Construction Company, and Al Ahlia Group. These companies contributed to infrastructure projects and also supported the entry of global consumer brands into Gulf markets. Growing up with this background, Zaabri developed an understanding of long-term business development and operational structure.

Jaser Zaabri studied at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, earning a bachelor’s degree with a double major in marketing and management. His academic focus included sales systems, leadership, and operations. These areas later became part of his approach when building and scaling businesses.

Jay further expanded his education through executive programs at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. During this time, Jaser strengthened his understanding of strategy, leadership, and organizational growth, preparing him for broader business responsibilities.

At the start of his professional career, he worked in international business development and advisory roles. In 2010, he was involved in transactions with members of the Qatari royal family. This experience gave him exposure to complex negotiations and international deal structures, helping him develop confidence in high-level business environments.

In the early 2010s, Zaabri began focusing on building his own ventures. Between 2011 and 2018, he founded several insurance restoration and general contracting companies under the Anderson Construction name. At the same time, he served in executive roles within the Anderson Family of Companies, a group providing disaster recovery and property restoration services across the United States.

These businesses focused on rebuilding homes and commercial properties affected by fires, floods, and other events. Through this work, Jaser gained hands-on experience in scaling operations, building teams, and managing high-volume projects. His involvement across different companies helped him develop a structured approach to operational growth.

Alongside his work in construction, Jay Zaabri also built experience in consumer products and global brand expansion. From 2012 to 2016, he served as VP of Sales and Marketing at XS Energy Drinks. In this role, he helped expand the brand into 38 countries and managed annual sales of nearly $150 million. His responsibilities included developing distributor networks, managing sales teams, and overseeing international logistics.

He also worked with MyPillow Inc. as an executive and board member, contributing to growth initiatives. In addition, he co-founded GarbageMan, which began as a green-focused company and later evolved into a waste management business that a larger organization acquired. These ventures expanded his experience beyond construction and deepened his understanding of scaling companies across different industries.

From 2017 to 2019, Zaabri served as Executive Vice President of Development and Distribution at Renpure Organics. During this period, he supported the expansion of the company’s retail presence across North America and into international markets. Renpure Organics was later acquired in 2018 by MAV Beauty Brands and Marc Anthony Cosmetics.

In 2022, Jaser founded Evolve Holdings to bring together multiple industries under a single operating and investment structure. The company manages businesses across construction and restoration, recruiting, training, property management, hospitality investment, and marketing analytics.

Other divisions include Evolve University, which provides sales and leadership training, and Evolve Recruiting, which supports companies in building effective teams. These efforts reflect Zaabri’s focus on combining operations with long-term business development.

Jaser Zaabri's career reflects a steady approach to building companies across industries. Through Evolve Holdings and its related businesses, he continues to focus on growth, operational improvement, and creating connections between markets in the United States and the Middle East.
