Anthony Pericolo is CEO’s first Visiting Legal Fellow. He was also a fellow in CEO’s inaugural 2022 Civil Rights Fellowship.
Anthony is a 2023 graduate of Harvard Law School and a patent litigator in Washington, D.C. Before law school, Anthony earned dual degrees in economics and electrical and computer engineering from the University of Rochester.
Besides his appreciation for intellectual property law, Anthony is passionate about civil rights work. He grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, and is the son of Italian immigrants. He learned the value of hard work and equal opportunity through his family, who came to the U.S. with little but the clothes on their backs. Appreciative of the opportunities that the United States gave them, his parents made Anthony’s middle name, Amerigo, after the Italian cartographer from whom this nation derived its name. He was the first person in his family to attend college. Anthony wishes that the structures that enabled his hardworking parents to move upward can pervade future generations.
Gabriel Wiechert has been selected for CEO’s 2023 summer internship. He will focus on development, policy research, and administrative work.
Gabriel is a rising sophomore at Michigan State University and the treasurer at Turning Point USA at MSU.
He is double majoring in Political Theory and Constitutional Democracy, and International Relations, and is active at his university’s American Red Cross Club, Young Americans for Freedom, the College Republicans as well as the James Madison College Conservatives.
The Center and its staff are excited to bring aboard these talented young leaders.
