Dr. Nadav Fields and Dr. Jonathan M. Fields
CR8 Health is the result of two physician-entrepreneurs who saw what modern healthcare was missing—and chose to build what didn’t yet exist. Founded by brothers Dr. Nadav Fields, DO, and Dr. Jonathan M. Fields, DAOM, the brand was born from a shared conviction that medicine should be proactive, personalized, and led by expertise rather than sales tactics.
CR8 Health reflects a strong standard of practice in integrative wellness. Physician-led and outcomes-driven, the brand combines deep clinical knowledge with disciplined business practices. By anchoring every service in data, oversight, and long-term strategy, CR8 Health delivers care that is progressive yet principled—raising expectations for what modern longevity clinics can be.
Dr. Nadav Fields brings the operational clarity of a hospital-trained physician who understands systems, risk, and scalability. His experience in internal medicine, longevity medicine, obesity medicine, and frontline pandemic care shaped CR8 Health’s emphasis on prevention, metabolic health, and sustainable results. As Medical Director, he ensures that growth never compromises safety or integrity.
Dr. Jonathan Fields contributes a forward-looking approach—integrating functional medicine, Eastern modalities, like acupuncture, herbs and performance optimization into a cohesive, scalable model. With extensive clinical experience, global training, and thought leadership, he helped architect CR8 Health’s signature integrative framework, blending science, longevity, and human performance in a way that distinguishes the clinic.
As entrepreneurs, the Fields brothers have founded and operated physician-led medical aesthetics and wellness practices while cultivating a trusted brand rooted in education, transparency, and patient relationships. Their growth across five South Florida locations reflects not trend-chasing, but trust earned. CR8 Health stands as a modern healthcare brand—designed to scale without losing its soul, and to prove that integrity, innovation, and results can coexist.
Dr. Mariela Vargas-Irwin
As conversations around Autism shift from awareness to equity, Mariela Vargas-Irwin, PhD, is focused on execution. As founder and executive director of Applied Behavioral Learning Services (ABLS), she has built a science-driven organization designed for consistency, accountability, and measurable real-world outcomes. ABLS delivers services across the lifespan through private insurance, public-school partnerships, and MassHealth—bridging clinical excellence with scalable delivery models.
At the core of Dr. Vargas-Irwin’s leadership is a disciplined rejection of assumption-based care. ABLS replaces intuition-driven practices with direct assessment, operational definitions, and data-based decision-making. One of Dr. Vargas-Irwin’s most impactful entrepreneurial initiatives is the creation of the Boston Assessment of Behavioral Core Skills (Boston ABCS). Developed over decades of real-world clinical application, the assessment meets a long-standing need for reliable, standardized tools for children with behavioral challenges. Its focus on seven functional skill areas provides clinicians and educators with a practical foundation for treatment planning and includes operational definitions of common behavior problems that standardize behavioral assessment.
The Boston ABCS demonstrates Dr. Vargas-Irwin’s ability to convert clinical insight into scalable intellectual property with field-wide relevance. Her current research further examines the durability and generalization of treatment gains—specifically how clinic-based learning transfers to real-world community environments.
Her leadership has contributed meaningfully to her field. She contributed to the work of the Massachusetts Association for Behavior Analysis during a pivotal period of change.
Under her leadership, ABLS has earned the Boston Parents Paper Family Favorite award for 11 consecutive years and was recognized as a finalist in four categories in 2025. Most recently, she launched ABLS Theatrical, an inclusive community theater initiative that embeds Autism supports directly into public cultural spaces—advancing inclusion as a structural design principle rather than a secondary accommodation.
ABLS’s philosophy is grounded in a firm belief: effective Autism support must extend beyond clinic walls. That vision is now materializing as the organization prepares to open a new campus in Wellesley. The nearly one-acre site integrates outdoor space, movement, and flexible programming into daily operations, aligning environment, learning, and community access into a unified model for next-generation service delivery.
Marvin Schertl and Dr. Sina Schertl
Marvin Schertl and Dr. Sina Schertl define luxury through structure, proportion, and intent. As the founders of Casa Padrino, they have built a brand guided by precision and disciplined standards, where visual impact is always supported by substance. Their perspective reflects maturity, consistency, and a long view of design.
The brand’s portfolio spans private villas and hospitality projects across Europe, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Australia. Along the Côte d’Azur and in Monaco in particular, Casa Padrino is recognized in markets where discretion, consistency, and trust define success.
Operating internationally, Casa Padrino serves private and hospitality projects in regions defined by mature luxury standards. Its sustained activity in Monaco and the Côte d’Azur places the brand in environments where discretion, continuity, and proven capability determine long-term relevance.
Their philosophy is both intentional and exacting, leaving no room for compromise. As the founders state, “True luxury is defined by quality, longevity, and discretion. Our goal has always been to create interiors that convey presence and value without the need for excess.” It is a principle that governs material choice, proportion, and execution across every commission.
Recognition has followed consistency. A design and excellence award in Cannes reflects not only aesthetic merit but operational rigor. Equally important is the brand’s standing within elite professional and social circles, built through discretion, delivery, and repeat trust rather than visibility alone.
Looking forward, Marvin and Dr. Sina Schertl are focused on strategic expansion in the Middle East, deeper collaboration with international hotel groups, and the release of exclusive limited-edition collections. Guided by the belief that “Luxury interiors should not only impress today, but remain relevant and refined for decades to come,” Casa Padrino continues to represent European luxury in international markets.
Justin Bradley
Justin Bradley, founder and co-owner of JAG Metals LLC, represents a modern Texas success story built on determination, faith, and relentless work ethic. What began as a small, local operation has grown into a multimillion-dollar metal building supply company serving builders and families across Texas, and expanding fast. Headquartered in Weatherford, JAG Metals has become a trusted name for steel solutions ranging from arenas and storage facilities to backyard shops and barndominiums, with ten locations statewide and more on the horizon.
Justin’s journey is anything but polished. He approaches leadership with a grounded perspective, a strong work ethic, and genuine appreciation for the path that brought him here. Justin doesn’t lead from an office chair. When the work calls for it, he’s out in the yard moving steel with the team. That visibility creates a culture where standards are clear, effort is respected, and craftsmanship matters.
Since its founding in 2015, JAG Metals has been shaped by the combined construction experience of Justin and Blake Bailey as well as Jayton Cagle who runs its preengineered division, FAB Forward Metals. Built by people who have worked in construction from the ground up, the company delivers more than materials. JAG Metals equips builders with dependable supply support and guides homeowners through the benefits of metal buildings, from durability to design freedom.
Beyond business growth, Justin is known for his commitment to community. From supporting local FFA programs to partnering with 95.9 The Ranch on food drives, and donating to organizations like Cook Children’s, Angel Tree, and St. Jude, giving back is embedded in JAG’s identity. He’s equally invested in his employees’ families, frequently sponsoring youth sports and activities.
Justin’s vision is clear: to become the leading provider of metal building solutions across Texas—and eventually the U.S.—without ever compromising on quality, service, or heart.
