NAME - Mark E. Beckenbach

ADDRESS - Atlantic Beach, Florida

REASON FOR INTEREST – My son Bryce and daughter Teale started playing soccer at the ages of 5 and 7 respectively at FCSA. They started at the Recreational level chasing butterflies while they ran after the moving ball. With the help of many wonderful people and helpful programs at FCSA they have grown into outstanding young adults who at 15 and 17 years of age continue to enjoy the sport.

I believe that playing the sport of soccer has helped in the molding of their characters, contributing to their abilities to work with others, creating an awareness of their health and fitness, and allowing them to realize achievable goals – lessons that they will carry throughout their lives.

My goal is to continue to offer my time and services to FCSA in order that other children can be exposed to the same positive influences that aided in the development of my children.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE – Initially on the Marketing Committee, Vice President of Advanced for one Year, 1^st Vice President for a Year, FCSA President this past year, Member of the Finance Committee, developed and maintain the present Web Pages.

OCCUPATION – Retired Professional Rowing Coach
