UAA Staff Gratitude Wall by

Joe Nedland - Logo Police!

Joe has been the keeper of UAA branding standards for over 15 years. He doesn't just keep UAA looking good, he probably designed your unit logo as well! Hats off to the stately proponent of proper font usage and all things green and gold! (He's even a Green Bay Packer fan.)
