Below, please find the profiles for all Captain Candidates for Division 5. The profiles are maintained in random order:
Bradley Schleyer — I ask the D5 membership for another season of their support to be a captain again. I enjoy creating a positive and fun environment while creating a competitive strategy. 
Andrew Ibendahl — I love Division 5 and and very much enjoyed being a captain the last 3 seasons and would like to do it again. 
Phillip Lewis — I have played club, collegiate, and recreational volleyball for 10years +. I have gained the trust among my fellow Gotham and NAGVA members. I love the social aspect of Gotham volleyball but I also like seeing my friends progress in their skillsets. I believe the combination of my experience and fairness are qualities of a good captain. 
Eric Ma — As your Fall 2019 captain, I’ll promise you these 3 things: 1. Three BombA** Socials 2. Teammates that become your family 3. Further developing your skill-set, making you a 6 rotational player 
Kyle Alexander McCormick — I have been a captain in many different divisions and I am looking forward to the opportunity to fill that role again. I have picked double medal teams and other seasons not been so lucky lol. I hope that I can join the ranks as an awesome division 5 captain! Thank you for the consideration and maybe even your vote 🙂 
Carlos Martos — Hola everyone, I’ve been a Captain in the past. Had to take some time off due to work. But I’ll be honored again to give back to the community. =) 
Onri Noel — My captaincy so far has been humbling, rewarding, and delightfully challenging. I would be grateful for the opportunity to continue representing D5 in this capacity. 
Jeff Knafelc — I have been playing in Division 5 for many years (yikes) and have had some truly fantastic captains. From them, I feel like I have learned what it takes to pick a great team, communicate responsibly with the team, and be a positive influence on and off the court. I have had such a great experience in Division 5 and I think it’s time for me to give back to an organization that has had such a positive impact on my life! 
Matt Keller — “People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday.” – A. A. Milne 
Romy Ruz — I wasn’t able to make captain last season because my flight from the homeland was delayed, but I’d love the opportunity to once again be RuPaul to a group of competitive queens. Also, I promise not to f**k it up this time. 
Vince Serna — Was fun…Loved my team this past season.
