SLT

Bob "P.O." Cline, age 54, began his journey with F3 Austin at The Green in 2021 after discovering a post on his neighborhood Facebook page featuring a video by IMDBU. Initially hesitant about joining, concerned it might be a religious cult, P.O. found himself loving everything about the first workout, especially the camaraderie of the PAX who came to support him.

Spike, the Site/AO Q for The Green soon asked P.O. to  take over that role, largely due to his active presence on Slack and his lengthy announcements at beatdowns. P.O. later played a key role in launching AO Iron Horse (formerly AO Rancho) and served as site Q for a short period. He then took on the ComzQ role, causing a bit of disruption with the Great "Slack" Archive of 2023. Despite not being overly tech-savvy, P.O. managed to "borrow" technical skills from others to add many new features to Slack, most famously the weasel bot, which humorously never awarded him any accolades, much to the delight of the rest of the PAX.

Collaborating with then Nantan Aaaayyyy, P.O. helped to reinvigorate F3 Austin by developing a strong SLT and organizing the Site Q Summit (now known as Q Summit) in January 2024, which significantly propelled F3 Austin forward. In May 2023, when Aaaayyyy stepped down as Nantan, he asked P.O. to take over. At the AO The Mill launch, the shovel flag was officially passed to P.O., who is now committed to carrying on the vision of making F3 Austin a household name throughout greater Austin. With a focus on launching more AOs, strengthening existing ones, and fostering strong bonds among the PAX, P.O. believes that F3 Austin is well on its way to achieving this goal.

Giuseppe "Impact" Ferrigno, age 56, began his F3/F3 Austin journey at The Greyhound in February of 2020 as a result of a several months of EHing (emotional headlocking) from SteamRoller (of KC). Named due to his hatred of being a newspaper boy at a young age (the question was, “what job have you hated the most?”), he was almost named: NewsPaperBoy and Community Impact.  By the grace of God, the decision that Community Impact was too long and thus shortened to Impact, impact was made.  

While Impact was Site Q at the wonderful, amazing and outstanding AO (Sasquatch), P.O., the F3 Austin Comz Q, asked Impact to join the SLT and take on the role of Weasel Shaker.  Impact knew that F3 Austin was in real need if he was being asked to take on the role as it seems every other PAX turned it down.  Driven to rise to the challenge and help where he could and pledged to assist with the mission, Impact took on the role and quickly figured out how to add a reaction on Slack… :Boom:… the rest is history.  For a while, PAX would wait in anticipation of the Impactful Matters section on the F3 Austin Newsletter (yes, this was a real thing) to be published and see what was being impacted or who was being impactful, etc.… but all good things must come to an end.  To this day, however, it is very difficult to deliver a strong COT without mentioning Impact… Most likely because Impact loves the F3 Austin SLT team and all the F3 Austin PAX.  Upward and onward!
