Close School Alumni Recognized In Drexel’s 40 Under 40

Two incredible Close School alumni have been recognized in Drexel’s 40 under 40: Paige DeAngelo, Founder and CEO of Aer Cosmetics, and Daniel Grobman, Owner of Mike’s BBQ. Paige started a cosmetic brand that focuses on sustainability by creating a water-soluble, vegan, cruelty-free mascara that can be produced with tablets in a refillable tube.

Daniel turned his hobby of smoking meats into his own business and has hopes of expanding to multiple locations in the city!
