The Station Houston Mafia – where are they now?

(Updated October 25, 2019 to add several people I had missed)

I was having a chat with my good friend John Reale (JR), co-founder and former CEO of Station Houston, and we got onto the topic of what an amazing group of people comprised the Station Houston team. As we went through the list, it was clear to me that Station Houston attracted, nurtured and amplified a lot of local talent in Houston.

So what is the Station Houston Mafia up to now? Let’s take a look…
