A member of the Society of Human Resource Management, Chris Maddaloni is the owner of Atlantic Personnel, Inc., a regional full-service employment agency that is regarded as one of the top 20 employers in Beaufort County, South Carolina. When he isn’t working, Chris Maddaloni enjoys following college and professional football. He counts the Philadelphia Eagles as his favorite National Football League (NFL) team.

In response to Malik Jackson suffering a season-ending injury during the team’s Week 1 victory over the Washington Redskins, Philadelphia signed veteran free agent defensive tackle Akeem Spence on September 10. Jackson, who won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos in 2015, signed a three-year, $30-million contract with the Eagles last March.

Spence, meanwhile, was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 27-year-old native of Fort Walton Beach, Florida spent four seasons with the Buccaneers and accumulated 98 tackles, 5.5 quarterback sacks, and three fumble recoveries. He played 16 games with the Miami Dolphins last season and had 42 tackles in addition to two sacks and one fumble recovery.

As owner of the South Carolina-based Atlantic Personnel, Inc., Chris Maddaloni manages more than 350 full-time employees for the full-service regional employment agency. Beyond his professional pursuits, Chris Maddaloni is an avid fan of the National Football League’s (NFL) Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles secured an integral part of its defensive core on March 1, signing defensive end Brandon Graham to a three-year contract extension. Graham, who would have become a free agent on March 13, will reportedly earn between $12 and $14 million per year. The signing likely signals the end of Chris Long and Michael Bennett’s tenures with the Eagles as the team now has limited salary cap space available.

Selected by the Eagles with the 13th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, Graham has spent his entire nine-year career with the team and has 320 tackles, 42.5 quarterback sacks, 16 forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries. He won a Super Bowl with the team in 2017 and had a career-best 9.5 sacks that season. The 30-year-old native of Detroit, Michigan, played college football at the University of Michigan.
