His career began at UCLA, where he played only one college game before being drafted by the Washington Redskins in 1984, demonstrating early on his ability to rise to challenges and exceed expectations. Jay's experience stepping in as the starting quarterback in 1985, leading to a Pro Bowl selection and a key role in the Redskins' 1987 Super Bowl victory, reflects the kind of agile leadership and performance under pressure that we value.
 

Beyond the gridiron, Jay's life story is one of unwavering determination and faith. He overcame personal challenges, including his son's health crisis, with a strength and perspective that inspire. Jay was challenged off the field by an unexpected discovery of a brain tumor in his then 6-year-old son C.J. Thankfully C.J. experienced a miraculous healing by the grace of God which provides for a wonderful story on family values, priorities, and the power of prayer. His journey through professional baseball, his commitment to his faith, and his eventual return to football exemplify the adaptability and focus that drive success in dynamic environments.
 

After retiring from the NFL with impressive stats, including over 20,000 yards passing and a .648 winning percentage, Jay dedicated himself to community service. His work with The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and The Liberty Project in Nevada, aiding veterans and wild mustangs, aligns with DIRTT's ethos of using our skills and resources for the greater good.
 

While helping DIRTT with its NFL Marketing Strategy and Social Impact, Jay Schroeder is not just a figure of sporting excellence, but a beacon of resilience, adaptability, and community commitment – qualities that are at the heart of our mission to innovate and impact the world positively.

With a dynamic career spanning over 25 years in financial services, sales, and executive management, Robert Merchant stands out as a visionary leader whose strategic acumen and entrepreneurial spirit have consistently driven substantial growth. As the founder and former CEO of Funding4Doctors, LLC, Robert adeptly scaled the company's monthly deployed capital from just over $500,000 to an impressive $10 million. His pioneering work continued with the establishment of Traumatic Brain Diagnostics, USA, which under his leadership, expanded into five states with plans to add three more locations in 2024.

Robert's commitment to innovation and sustainability is further exemplified in his collaboration with a leading university on a groundbreaking post-combustion carbon capture technology. This initiative aims to retrofit existing exhaust systems to reduce and repurpose CO2 emissions into valuable byproducts, underscoring his dedication to environmental stewardship.

Before venturing into entrepreneurship, Robert honed his expertise in the automotive industry, serving as Business Director at Ferman BMW and Mills Chevrolet. At Ferman BMW, he not only doubled the revenue and profitability of his department but also earned the prestigious "Profiles in Achievement" award from BMW North America—making him one of the few finance directors in Florida to achieve this honor. His tenure at Mills Chevrolet was marked by record-breaking performance across various metrics, including customer satisfaction and compliance, earning him multiple accolades.

An AFIP-certified professional, Robert’s background also encompasses roles in management at Coca-Cola bottling and as a mortgage broker, which have all contributed to his robust understanding of business operations and financial management. His leadership philosophy centers on building strong teams and maintaining a relentless work ethic, values instilled from his Midwest upbringing.

Gary Green is one of the most written-about figures in modern casino circles; an author & icon who has worked in or managed almost every operating department of casino hotel resort and entertainment.

He is a former Vice-President of Trump Hotels & Casinos, and the host of the upcoming TV series "Casino Insider" and author of the accompanying book "Casino Insider: Crossroaders, Georges, & Sporting Men" as well as author of the highly-claimed "Osceola's Revenge; the phenomena of Indian Casinos", and seven other books.

Widely known as a genuine "character," he once was known as one of America's most intense folksingers & rock poets (with his albums now part of the Smithsonian collection). His storied life includes once owning an actual circus, being a long-time advocate of Native American sovereignty rights as well as a civil rights and labor unions, leading daring adventures behind the old "Iron Curtain", and operating dozens of casinos across America.

He is a recognized digital pioneer of the original dot-com era (with 5% of all e-commerce on the planet at one time using his matrix); an award-winning journalist, a fast-moving consumer direct marketer, and author of protocols in highly regulated industries.

A senior member of the Society of American Magicians, the Country Music Association, the Americana Music Association, and a frequent keynote speaker and entertaining educator, he has tens of thousands Twitter followers and Facebook fans, is registered in IMDB.com (Internet Movie Database), listed in the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, and has two Pulitzer nominations, along with a string of other honors and awards.

A second-generation marketing innovator, he continues to make his presence known as a living and true renaissance boomer of music, business, technology, literature, finance, production, international business development, and casino gaming.

In the 1960's he purportedly had one of the 22nd highest IQ's ever recorded (based on the 1960 Terman and Merrill revision of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale). Gary Green's world was best summed-up by legendary folksinger Pete Seeger who wrote, "Hell, there should be a Ballad of Gary Green."

Gary's eclectic expertise and innovative mindset, honed across diverse industries, positions him to be a catalyst for groundbreaking ideas and strategies at DIRTT, potentially revolutionizing how the company approaches innovation, marketing, and digital transformation.

Jeff Flam, a technology veteran of 25 years, excels in implementation of technology solutions in the areas of voice, data, cloud services, and security.

Jeff's roots include sales and technical management at second ISP and first carrier neutral data center in the state of Florida. Furthermore, being part of the original project design, sales, and support of BellSouth’s first Metro Ethernet network, allowed Jeff to gain knowledge on how these systems worked and operated.

At the beginning of this century Jeff left the corporate world, as he realized that there were very few people in the technology space that were providing the end user the real information about what they were contracting. Carrier salespeople were trying to hawk their services regardless of fit to the customer. With a unique understanding of these services from a technical end and the desire to do it the right way (this time), Jeff became an entrepreneur and started his first company which evolved into Cloud Authorities.  

Cloud Authorities works with companies of all sizes and shapes with voice, connectivity, cloud and cyber security challenges. The mission is simple and the process is transparent. We explore with our clients what their goals are in the technology space and how to achieve them cost effectively and efficiently, then find the provider that can truly perform and not offer empty promises.

In his spare time, Jeff likes to karaoke, paint, build furniture, cook, and bake. 

Jeff's commitment to genuine information and efficient solutions with a realistic and humble attitude positions him as a valuable asset for DIRTT's technology implementation, ensuring a seamless and effective integration of cutting-edge solutions.

She has also represented other notable athletes and musical artists such as Joe Frazier, Jeff Chandler, McFadden & Whitehead, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Teddy Pendergrass, Sharon Paige, Evelyn King, Regina Bell, Boyz to Men, Glenn Jones, Cuba Gooding, Sr., and most recently Ty Tribett & the Greater Anointing in a promotional position. Ms. Nolan-Cooper maintains her competitive edge through continuing education classes for both the legal and construction/development industries. Her public service includes co-founder and Vice President of the South Jersey Minority Chamber of Commerce, co-founder of the National Bar Association Women’s Division (Philadelphia Chapter), volunteer at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House as a weekly volunteer and as a member of the Read for Ronald Committee and the City of Philadelphia Program for Literacy.

She earned a certificate in Construction Management from Temple University through its Small Business Development Center. In her efforts to seek out new markets and opportunities, she has established Innovative Solutions for Management, LLC. to strategically position herself on the cutting edge of the influx of urban redevelopment in Camden, New Jersey and the greater Delaware Valley and in late 2007 she has gained international recognition by forming Island Resort Investment Partners, LLC., an international development and management consulting group as the Managing Member. Ms. Nolan-Cooper also has an extensive list of clients for whom she manages contract compliance issues such as MBE-WBE, OSHA, federal, state and regional municipal requirements. Through her new international affiliations, she has participated in the negotiations of successful contract negotiations and real estate acquisitions throughout the United States, and the Caribbean.
