Meet the Founder "I am very privileged and gratified that I am able to give back to the place of my father’s birth
and my heritage.  Although born in America, I have enjoyed following the lead of the role
ANTHONY ASHER models before me. 
I have chosen to give back, to make a difference through innovation and entrepreneurism as
Cleveland, Ohio I believe this is the area of greatest impact for Lebanon.  Most importantly, I thank so very
Founder of Weston Inc. much the leadership of the University of The Holy Spirit, the Order of Lebanese Monks, for
espousing and adding to the vision of the center and incorporating entrepreneurship into
the University’s curriculum, positioning to become the leader in this area in the region."
