Terrell Galloway, President
Terrell Galloway was born and raised in the historic Hill District in Pittsburgh, PA. Growing up his mom always made sure he had a positive black male role model in his life. She knew that he would not see very much positive representation of black males in school, media, or society and enrolled him in several programs to provide mentorship. Some of the programs included INVESTING NOW, Black Male Leadership Development Institute (BMLDI), School 2 Career (S2C), and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) junior chapter. The accumulation of these programs are what helped Terrell realize the importance of mentorship, as well as develop leadership, networking, and problem solving skills.
These fundamental and essential life skills are what fueled Terrell throughout his time in high school. He attended Taylor Allderdice High School graduating in 2016 with High Honors while being senior class Vice President, Drum Major of the marching band, and Captain of the robotics club.
Terrell is currently works for Turner Construction as a Field Engineer. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh majoring in mechanical engineering, after transferring from Tuskegee University at the beginning of his junior year. He continues to refine and grow the skills he has learned from the mentoring programs he was in by tutoring and working for INVESTING NOW as a student program coordinator. He has also interned for Collins Aerospace in Huntsville, AL and Naval Nuclear Laboratories in Pittsburgh, PA.
Sean Spencer, Chief Financial Officer
Sean Spencer grew up in Pittsburgh, PA in the Lincoln - Lemington - Belmar neighborhood. He attended Pittsburgh Public Schools and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 2016 with High Honors and as a member of the National Honor Society.
His environment motivated him to not only be more than a statistic, but to also bring change to the community that helped make him who he is. Sean recognized the systematic oppression that exists in this society at a young age. He understood the odds stacked against him growing up in a single-parent household in a neighborhood where violence and crime was a common theme.
He decided to attend Duquesne University to earn his Bachelor of Arts in Media, funded mostly by scholarships and grants. He excelled academically, graduating Magna Cum Laude in May 2020. Sean has had numerous jobs and internships since he was 16 years old. He has interned at the 9/11 Tribute Museum, The Partnership in Education, and WESA Radio. During his undergraduate years, he realized his calling in life was to help people, especially the youth. In 2018, he became an Activities & Administrative Coordinator for Journey to Medicine, a program he was apart of since he was in 6th grade.
Isreal Williams, Secretary
Isreal Williams is a Senior at the University of Pittsburgh. Growing up in a single-parent household in the Northside of Pittsburgh, he recognized the lack of male mentors he had in his life. After speaking to a few friends from different parts of town, he realized he was not alone in this feeling. Being a part of high-performing groups, like FAME, INVESTING NOW, and Church of Our Savior, he had an environment to cultivate his leadership abilities and be strengthened by his community. During the middle school and late high school years, he found valuable mentorship in these groups. In high school, he joined the National Society of Black Engineers. Thanks to a close family friend, he began helping out at home in different capacities, like repairing appliances and fixing leaks. It was these years when Isreal started to feel more ownership for the little things in his life - a mindset that would help him realistically raise his expectations
During his senior years in high school, Isreal began working with students as an intern for FAME Academy and organizing social justice & community service activities through his high school’s Student Diversity Leadership Council. Once he arrived at the University of Pittsburgh, he was embraced by the amazing support system presented by Pitt EXCEL. Diving into the inner workings of Pitt EXCEL, Isreal found a place to learn, heal, and grow in Pitt B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D. - a program for Black and Latino men earning engineering degrees at the University of Pittsburgh. Thanks to this group, Isreal gained some insight and more practice helping provide a space for young men to learn skills and lessons to become more well-rounded and high-achieving men.
