About Us
Waste Wars is a company created through the Business Academy at Glenoak and Junior Achievement. Here are the seven high schoolers who have come together to make all of this possible.
Nico Codispoti-CEO
Hello, my name is Nico Codispoti, and I occupy the CEO position here at Waste Wars. I have been a part of the business program for the past three years. I initially gained interest as I learned more about how I could one day run my own business, and I'm incredibly happy to say that the dream is coming true!
Patrick Arway-VP
My name is Patrick Arway, I’m 17, and I am the VP of Waste Wars. I’ve been in the business academy since my sophomore year, and I got into business because my older brother took this pathway, and it has always been intriguing for me.
Carter Hall-Sales VP
Hello, my name is Carter Hall. I’m 17 years old and I’m the Sales VP. I’ve been in the business program for 3 years now, and I’m excited to get Waste Wars up and running! I want to eventually break the sales record and make as much money as we possibly can!
Amina Salem-Marketing/PR VP
My name is Amina Salem, I’m 17 years old, and I serve as the PR and Marketing lead for Waste Wars. I first got involved in business during my freshman year in 2022, so I’ve been part of the Business Career Tech program for four years. I decided to join after seeing how much my older sister, Nora, enjoyed it!
Evan Negulis-Production VP
My name is Evan Negulis, and I am 18 years old. For Waste Wars, my company role is Production. I have been in the business academy for 3 years, and the reason I joined is to learn more about the business environment.
Avante Cummings-Supply Chain VP
My name is Avante Cummings, I'm 17 years old, and I'm the Supply Chain operator in the group. I've been in the business program for 4 years. I've been wanting to run my own business ever since I was young, so I hope this experience helps me when I get older and want to continue my business practices.
Gabe Kostevic-Finance VP
Hello, my name is Gabe Kostevic, and I'm 17 years old. I am the Finance VP within Waste Wars. I have been in the business program for 3 years now.
