Here’s the current roster:

- Nate Sexton
- Catrina Allen
- Paul Ulibarri
- Philo Brathwaite

The agency sports a North Carolina address and is headed by president and founder Sam Hassell. Its social media channels are not yet up and running. We’ve reached out to Hassell for comment and will have more on this developing story.
