Dr. Fishon's career began in the high-energy world of media and broadcasting, working with iconic LI, NY stations including WBLI, WBAB, and Cox Media. His leadership journey continued through prominent corporate roles at Southwest Airlines and TD Bank, where he spent nearly two decades building expertise in organizational culture and customer experience. Throughout that time Dr. Fishon has stayed committed on executive boards and organizations such as LI Against Domestic Violence, FL State Troopers Association, Ambassador for Organizations such as Nations University, Sophia Learning, and Hellenic American University.
Growing up as part of a fifth-generation family business, he understood the importance of legacy, values, and sustainable impact—principles that would later inform his advocacy work.

Behind the professional success was a personal struggle that few could see. Dr. Fishon navigated life with autoimmune conditions, narcolepsy, and chronic fatigue—conditions that are often invisible to others but profoundly impact daily functioning, energy, and well-being.
These experiences gave him an intimate understanding of the barriers faced by millions with unseen disabilities: the lack of awareness, the absence of accommodations, and the societal misconceptions that equate "looking fine" with being fine.
Rather than letting these challenges define him, Dr. Fishon transformed his lived experience into a mission. He founded the Dr. Disruptor Network, a platform dedicated to challenging outdated systems and advocating for inclusive design in education, healthcare, and the workplace.
He also created the XTERMIGATOR KIDS brand—an innovative initiative empowering youth with unseen disabilities through storytelling, education, and community building. The brand focuses on resilience, self-advocacy, and celebrating neurodiversity.
Dr. Fishon's commitment to impact is matched by his dedication to scholarship. He holds an impressive array of advanced degrees, demonstrating expertise across diverse fields:

His ongoing research focuses on resilience in youth with unseen disabilities, ethical applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare and education, and the intersection of technology and accessibility.
Today, Dr. Fishon is at the forefront of disability advocacy, focusing on building resilience in youth with unseen disabilities and exploring how ethical AI can create more inclusive learning and working environments.
He consults with organizations on inclusive leadership practices, speaks at conferences about accessibility and neurodiversity, and continues to push for systemic change that recognizes the full spectrum of human ability.
