    Sing Second Podcast [Jun 17, '25] featuring “Authentically American” leaders Dean Wegner USMA ’93 and Brian Erickson USNA ‘95.

    Welcome to another great episode of the Sing Second podcast. We bring you the stories and happenings at the Naval Academy and the Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation (AA&F). A quiet summer? Nope. John and Chris welcome in Entrepreneur Summit week with a conversation about the Summit events here at the Fluegel Alumni Center. We chat a little more about the new Athletic Director, who just did his first interview with our friend Bill Wagner at Anchors Aweigh. We chat about next week’s Change of Leadership ceremony for the new Commandant. And finally we chat about the emerging global conflicts and how they might affect our alums serving around the world. Our featured interview is with Authentically American founder Dean Wegner and his Biz Development guru, Brian Erickson ‘95. Both Brian and Dean played Hockey while at their Academies. Now, nearly 30 years after they left their respective academies to start aviation careers, the two are joining forces to bring jobs to America.Dean started Authentically American in 2017 to help bring manufacturing jobs back to America by selling premium, competitively priced, apparel that is ALL Made in the US. They intentionally donate 10% of their profits to Veteran and First Responder focused charities as a way to honor our American heroes. We have a great convo. Thanks for listening…and Beat Army. Always.
