Upon returning to Southern California, Adam got a job working in the Architectural Engineering industry at Gausman and Moore, designing mechanical systems for buildings. This is an industry Adam first became interested in because of Boy Scouts and is currently working in pursuit of his professional engineering license. As a founding member of LVSAA, Adam recently joined its Board of Directors. He is looking forward to giving back and contributing as part of an organization that provided him with so much opportunity.

Justin Regan

Justin Regan became an Eagle Scout in November of 2009. He went on to graduate from Northern Arizona University and pursue a career in audio journalism. He worked for five years at KNAU, Arizona Public Radio as a reporter and local All Things Considered host. Last year, Justin started his own podcast called American Rabbi Project, where he interviews rabbis across the U.S. about their thoughts on the Jewish experience in America. The podcast can be downloaded on all major podcast platforms and at rabbiproject.com.

Justin says scouting was a crucial source of community, friendship, purpose and fun for him during his impressionable teenage years. “It kept me on the right track. And even now in adulthood I keep discovering new examples of how much scouting helped me get to where I am today.”

Ryan Lapides

Ryan Lapides earned Eagle Scout rank in 2017 and graduated high school in 2018. He recently  finished a year in The California Conservation Corps. He worked on one of the big fires in Northern California and then transferred down south and took on a culinary position. In the fall of 2019 he started college at Southern Oregon University where he is studying Environmental Science and Policy.

Roy Sherman

Roy Sherman earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 2004 in Troop 127.  When asked to reflect on his time in Troop 127 he replied: “Scouting gave me the opportunity to practice leadership (patrol/troop positions), experiment with different interests (merit badges), and create something from nothing (Eagle Project).  Although I didn’t realize it at the time, my Eagle Project demonstrated what it is like to attempt to create a business.  I had to figure out how do things I had never tried before, leverage the knowledge and skills of others, and encourage others to participate in my cause.”

Roy now runs an investment and retirement planning business, Sherman Asset Management.  He is married to Sarah, a special education teacher, and lives in Ventura.  He and his wife enjoy a variety of activities, especially running and traveling.  Roy is also involved in the local business community through the Chamber of Commerce and the Alumni Board at CSU Channel Islands.

Garret Guyot 

Garret attends UCLA as a Neuroscience Major. He plays the trumpet in UCLA Marching Band on a scholarship and the Game Music Ensemble for fun, and he is the 1st trumpet in both ensembles.  In addition, he works as an undergraduate intern in a pathology laboratory.  In the lab, he gets paid to do “grunt work” and volunteer his time on research projects to be published in academic papers.  He hopes to start his own project soon. For now, his research projects are focused on studying the basic biology of how cells uptake exogenous mitochondria and integrate it into their indigenous mitochondrial network in order to alter cellular functions. Garret says that Scouting taught him how to properly manage a busy schedule and make plans to reach his goals. He often meets other Eagle Scouts at UCLA and it is an instant connection. He credits Scouting with supporting his success because he “would not be where I am today without the professionalism I learned in a boylead roop.”
