2025 Membership

Dear Valued Lake Quassapaug Outing Club Members,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new General Manager of Lake Quassapaug Outing Club for the 2025 season. With over 10 years of experience in recreational facility management and a deep appreciation for the outdoors, I am honored to join this cherished community.

I have 10 years of lifeguarding experience and 10+ years in recreational facility management. My credentials include certifications as a Lifeguard, Lifeguard Instructor, Water Safety Instructor Trainer, and BSA Aquatics Instructor. Prior to my current role as Aquatic Supervisor at the Naugatuck YMCA, I served as Aquatic Director for the Boy Scouts of America.

My vision for the club is to preserve its rich traditions while enhancing the member experience through thoughtful improvements and engaging activities. I believe in creating an environment where families can create lasting memories, children can safely explore and play, and adults can find respite from their busy lives.

I look forward to meeting each of you and hearing your ideas for making our club even better. Together, we'll ensure that Lake Quassapaug continues to be a special place for generations to come.

Feel free to reach out with any questions—here's to a safe and fun summer at the lake!
