OUR TEAM
JOEY MOKOS
Principal and Chief Executive Officer
Joey leads business development and operations. He began his career managing a software development company before attending Yale Divinity School. During grad school, he considered the impact of the economy on everyday people; those people who feel they have little ability to influence the economy’s effects on them. He realized that organized labor is a tool which helps millions of people improve their economic lives. Since then, he has been passionate about helping labor unions, Taft Hartley funds and progressive organizations deliver on their missions. He went on to work with UNITE HERE Local 26 as an organizer, logistics coordinator, and political director. He became the Executive Director of the Greater Boston Hospitality Employers Local 26 Trust Funds before becoming a Regional Director of Health Care Delivery at UNITE HERE HEALTH. He brings his experience and analytical approach to each of his clients. Joey earned a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Penn State University and a Master of Arts, Religion/Religious Studies from Yale Divinity School.
SAM NELSON
Senior Software Engineer
After graduating from Harvard with honors in Mathematics, Sam Nelson worked as the computer coordinator for the Casablanca American School. Returning to America, he became the Senior Software Engineer at Small World Software, a startup Web development company, and helped it grow from three employees to more than 50. He then became the Director of Software Development at The New York Times Electronic Media Company, where he managed a team of 30 Java developers, database managers, and Solaris system administrators maintaining and developing applications for the Times’ online properties. He left the Times to become a freelance consultant and developer, primarily providing open-source solutions to Unions and not-for-profit organizations
JOHN YOUNG
Project Manager
Rockstar customer support. John started working in IT at a young age, assembling computers for his father, a software developer, because his small hands fit easily between the components. He has a background working with law enforcement, labor unions and other non-profits. He moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Boston in 2011 to work with Joey at a Taft Hartley Fund where they worked on rethinking the Funds collection, storage and use of data. They teamed up with Sam Nelson to build the software. After completing the transition from using a third party administrator to managing all the data in-house, John joined Sam's team as a client-side project manager, trainer and support agent, developing and supporting Sirius Trust, one piece of the Sirius Labor Suite.
