Honeycomb Cargo

Joe Parrilli / Honeycomb Cargo

Joe Parrilli is the product of a working class family who was born and raised in suburban Chicago and educated through the Catholic school system.  One of seven children, Parrilli is  a graduate of St. Norbert College and a 25+ year veteran of the Telecommunications and Energy industries.  His recent years in the energy industry were focused on the oil & gas market segment and alternative energy.​ In March of 2015 Joe had an epiphany.

After watching reports of devastating rail car explosions on the nightly news he designed the Next Generation Hazmat Packaging and Transport solution. The oil tank rail car design currently in use was developed 45 years ago. These single-entity legacy tank cars all have an inherent design flaw. Parrilli developed a revolutionary intermodal design that is very cost effective and will provide an order of magnitude improvement in safety and reliability.

Brad Avery / Honeycomb Cargo

Brad Avery grew up in a small central Illinois town, the middle child of a hard working pastor and entrepreneurial mother.  After high school and a couple years of pre-engineering at Illinois Central College, Avery joined the group Third Day and enjoyed critical acclaim. With a desire to use their God given platform for good, they shined the spotlight on relief organizations and mobilized their fan base to sponsor thousands of children through World Vision and build homes for families through Habitat for Humanity.

After nearly 15 years of touring, Brad came off the road and entered the chemical industry as a CAD designer, where he has spent the last 7 years. When Joe presented his brilliant honeycomb idea to protect cargo, the environment, and most importantly the lives of people in our communities, Brad wanted to join him in helping make this solution visible and viable to the world.

Sherwin Nelson Clemons

Sherwin Nelson Clemons / GV Financial Advisors

Sherwin Nelson Clemons is known for her calming spirit in tense or emotional financial situations. She enjoys helping her clients discover the relevance of big, and often overwhelming, life events to achieve what is most important to them.

“I relish my role as financial advisor because I believe it gives me the opportunity to make a tremendous difference in my clients’ lives,” she explains with enthusiasm. “I love helping people filter their often-tough financial decisions through the prism of their personal core values and priorities, and working with them to help them make progress on their most cherished life goals.”

Before joining the firm as a financial advisor in 1998, Sherwin earned degrees in Finance and International Economics from the University of Alabama and a certification in French from The Sorbonne in Paris, France. After graduation, Sherwin worked in the banking industry prior to becoming a Certified Financial Planner®. Sherwin worked as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® and is co-founder of the firm’s Divorce Resource Group™.

GV relies on Sherwin to develop and lead the training program for GV’s Financial Advisors on successfully integrating Behavioral Wealth Management tools and conversations into a sophisticated financial planning practice. Recently, she launched a new GV workshop series called “Who Told You THAT?” to focus on the messages each person received about money as a child and how those messages affect their adult lives. Sherwin is a published writer, blogger, workshop facilitator and frequent public speaker on a variety of financial topics.

True to her own values, Sherwin stays actively involved in the Atlanta community. She served on the Community Board of Directors of The Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation and is a member of the 2014 Class of Leadership Sandy Springs. Sherwin formerly served as a Foster Parent & Child Advocate in DeKalb County, on the board of Peace on the Move, Inc., and Stewardship Chair at Peace Baptist Church.

Sherwin’s calm work style disappears when it comes to football. Alabama football. Whether cheering for the University of Alabama or Alabama State, Sherwin remains true to her southern roots. She enjoys football season and family life with her husband, two small daughters from her husband’s first marriage, and her adult foster daughter. Sherwin has come to love cycling as both a form of exercise and a sport; she recently completed her first triathlon and plans on training for longer events.
