Below, please find the profiles for all Captain Candidates for Division 10. The profiles are maintained in random order:
Gregory Fratellone — Hi Gotham! I am once again running to be one of eight D10 captains for the Fall 2019 season. Being a part of this community has been such a meaningful and fulfilling experience and it is always my goal to spread love, kindness, and sportsmanship with every team I am a part of. Best of luck to everyone who runs and may the best woman…WIN! PS my second album, LOATHING, is available on all streaming platforms 😉 
Heath Morgan — Vote for Heath and all of your wildest dreams will come true. 
Alex Zhaz — I’m Alex and I am running again for the position of captain. I joined Gotham in Fall 2018 and have played two seasons of PowerPlay and two seasons in D10. I enjoyed serving as your captain for the first time and would greatly value the opportunity to do so again. During season, serving as captain has taught me how to be a leader, to listen and to support my team. I love each person on my team and enjoy our group chats and silly conversations when we hang out. I’ve met so many incredible people in D10 and appreciate my fellow D10 captains for their support. If I am elected captain for the next season, I will diversify our team and always make sure D10 has a fantastic and fun season with me. 
David Whitman — Gotham has always been an incredible community that has enriched my life both on and off the court. I’ve developed amazing bonds and incredible skills in not just the game but in leadership as well. I’ve been a captain for a handful of seasons and each time I’ve learned how to give more, work harder, love more, and I’ve laughed harder than ever with some of the greatest people. I’d love the chance to keep making Gotham a welcoming, inclusive and supportive community by being captain for such an incredible division. 
Angel Bellon — Hi Everyone! I took a season off from being a captain and now I’m back. My approach to being a captain is building a team that gets along on and off the court. All of my previous teams are still close to this day! I believe in having fun while also improving our skills. 
Leonardo Velandia — In my 4+ years at Gotham I always enjoyed bringing people together and creating new friendships. As a captain I get the opportunity to create new friendships and have fun as a team. 
Joseph Mignano — I joined Gotham 4 years ago and have had the the opportunity to serve as a Captain eight times since joining. I currently sit on three leadership committees which is my way of improving the experience for members. I’d like to be captain again. I greatly enjoy the opportunity to bring a team together, where everyone is encouraged, supported, and has a positive experience. If you believe that I would make a good Captain, uphold Gothams Values and continue to create a welcome and inclusive environment for all players, I would appreciate you voting for me. Thank you. 
Keith Stewart — Joining the Gotham family has been such a highlight for me over these last few years, largely due to the camraderie and teamwork each captain I’ve played with has instilled in our team. I’m excited to run this year to continue this legacy and hope to serve the Gotham community proud! 
Tim Shin — I want to be a captain because I love bringing people together. I also know how to encourage and motivate people to play their best and to see what their best strengths are. I’m on top of the details and know how to take charge, and I always have my eyes on doing what’s best for the team in order to help us win. Most importantly, I want to be a captain to make this season a fun one! Also, I’ve been told by quite a few people that I should run as captain, so here I am! 🙂 
Tim O’Keefe — She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s Miss United States and hopefully your D10 captain again! If you vote for me I will buy you a drink* at Gym Bar. *Only Water applies…. 
Khari Harris — I originally joined Gotham because I wanted to make new friends and have always enjoyed playing volleyball recreationally. I remember my first day at OP, I knew no one. I was a complete stranger and yet so many people welcomed me with open arms. Running for captain is my way of saying thanks to everyone in this community that has offered me countless support and guidance. I would love nothing more than to return the favor as captain. The best captains are leaders. They inspire and challenge you to be your best. I believe if given the opportunity to serve the community as a captain I could encourage just that! 
Tim O’Keeffe — She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s Miss United States and hopefully your D10 captain again! If you vote for me I will buy you a drink* at Gym Bar. *Only Water applies….
