Mickey Panayiotakis
IT Lead

Mickey stays awake at night dreaming of a community where nonprofits, donors, and volunteers connect. He leads the GR development team with the ultimate goal of realizing this vision. For about a decade erstwhile, Mickey led NTT/Verio in building, operating, and managing their East Coast Network.

When not making the world a better place, he and his dog sail the Chesapeake bay and beyond, or trudge along the Appalachian mountains, or find some other Suitable Adventure.

Benjamin Cohen
Outreach Manager

Ben received his BA in Politics and Society from the University of New Hampshire in the fall of 2010. While attending school, he served as a writing tutor for the university. This experience has developed a deep appreciation for the role that education must play in each individual’s life. This passion motivates him to create as many opportunities for those underserved to receive the fair treatment that they deserve. He sees Grassroots.org as an outlet to realize this goal in working with the numerous non-profits connected to the site, so that they may better serve their communities.
