NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman has named Stephen Cash director of the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, effective October 19. Cash, a veteran NASA engineer and aerospace executive, returns to lead the center where he began his career more than four decades ago.

Further, Marshall plays a key role in the advancement of nuclear power and propulsion, an area of focus that is expected to grow as NASA works towards sending the first humans to Mars.
“It is a profound honor to be back home at the Marshall Space Flight Center,” said Cash. “I am humbled to stand alongside the brilliant minds here as we continue to turn the impossible into everyday history.”

In 2005, when Josh’s dad retired from Redstone Arsenal, his family purchased a farm in south-central Tennessee. Ever since then, he’s loved country living, spending time outdoors, and being part of a close-knit community.
North Alabama has always felt like Josh’s home, and he is grateful to serve the people who live here. Whether someone needs to sell a house quickly, is exploring their options, or just wants honest advice about the local market, his goal is to make the process as simple, transparent, and stress-free as possible. Josh believes real estate is about more than buying and selling properties – it’s about helping people move forward during important moments in their lives.
He’s proud to be a local business owner who understands the North Alabama market and the people who make this community special. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you with respect, communicate honestly, and work to find the best solution for your situation, Josh would love the opportunity to connect and see how he can help.
Josiah Berlin grew up in a military family where hard work, integrity, and helping others were values he learned from an early age. Before co-founding North Alabama House Buyer, Josiah worked as a lineman for Huntsville Utilities. That experience gave him the opportunity to serve people throughout the community while building lasting relationships with homeowners across North Alabama.
Josiah genuinely enjoys meeting new people and helping them find the best solution for their situation. He understands that every homeowner’s circumstances are different, and his goal is to make selling a house as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re dealing with an inherited property, need to sell quickly, or simply want to explore your options, he is here to provide honest guidance and a fair offer.
North Alabama is Josiah’s home, and he is proud to serve the communities that have given so much to his family. If you ever have questions about selling your home or just want to talk through your options, Josiah would be happy to be a local resource and see how he can help.

Staci Cochran is the definition of a behind-the-scenes leader whose dedication, organization, and commitment make a tremendous impact on the Madison County community. As the Executive Assistant to the Executive Director at Partnership for a Drug Free Community, Staci wears countless hats every day—and somehow manages to make it all look effortless.
Staci is the driving force behind many of Partnership’s signature events, including the Spring Soirée, Pull’n for Recovery Fire Truck Pull, and the Outstanding Public Safety and Educators Awards. From coordinating logistics and communicating with partners to managing countless details that most people never see, Staci ensures that these events are successful, professional, and meaningful to the community. Her work helps bring together community leaders, educators, first responders, businesses, families, and supporters around the shared goal of building a healthier and stronger Madison County.
But Staci’s impact goes far beyond events. In her daily role as Executive Assistant to the Executive Director, she keeps the organization moving forward. She constantly juggles schedules, communications, meetings, administrative responsibilities, community relationships, event details, and the unexpected challenges that inevitably arise in nonprofit work. She is often the person making sure that the right person has the right information at the right time—and doing so without seeking recognition.
What makes Staci truly deserving of recognition is that so much of her contribution happens behind the scenes. The community sees the successful events, the awards, the programs, and the partnerships; what they may not see is the tremendous amount of work, coordination, patience, and dedication that Staci puts in to make those successes possible.
She is dependable, hardworking, resourceful, and deeply invested in the mission of Partnership for a Drug-Free Community. She is the person who can be trusted to take a seemingly overwhelming list of responsibilities and turn it into a successful outcome.
Staci represents exactly what a Mover & Shaker should be: someone who may not always be standing at the podium or receiving the spotlight, but whose hard work, leadership, and commitment help move our community forward every single day.
Staci Cochran deserves to be recognized as a Huntsville/Madison County Chamber of Commerce Mover & Shaker for the invaluable role she plays in making Partnership for a Drug-Free Community—and our community as a whole—stronger, more connected, and more successful.
Congratulations Staci!
