Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a person whose notability claims are not properly referenced. Serving as president of an organization is not an instant notability freebie that exempts a person from having to clear WP:GNG on the sources -- but right across the board, every last reference present here is a primary source (his own social media, the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations, etc.) that does not count as support for notability at all. The notability test for someone like this requires him to be the subject of reliable source coverage in media, not just the ability to verify that his own organization has mentioned his name in its own press releases about itself.
