Like mustached superhero Paul Miller, whom we introduced you to last week, every once in a while, one of our members steps up to the plate and does something truly great. Like when Billy Dee Williams starred as Lando Calrisian, or, there is the case of AMI member and Roseville, Calif. chapter leader Ryan Scalise.
As you can see here, Ryan took it upon himself to get he and his mustache booked on a local CBS affiliate news program to preach the greatness of lip fur. And not only is Ryan performing a fine public service for his community as he could clearly lay out what makes a great mustache, but he also demonstrates the power of social networking and online community like the one we all enjoy here at AMI.
Thank you Ryan. You are an example to us all.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
