Meet The Team

Dear YMCA Members and Participants,

Please meet our team at The Granite YMCA. Together, we are a dedicated group of individuals connected by a shared passion and commitment to serving our members and strengthening the foundations of our community through youth development, healthy living, social responsibility, and family strengthening. Our talented staff are well vetted through a thorough interview and reference checking process. All must pass a criminal investigative check and go through both formal and on the job training programs. Our association is very proud of all our team members, and invite you to ask any of them for assistance to better improve your Y experience.

Enjoy your YMCA.

YMCA Allard Center of Goffstown staff

Eric Rightor
Executive Director

Eric joins The Granite YMCA after a lifetime of being part of the Y. Growing up in Boston, Eric learned to swim at the YMCA of Greater Boston, attended Y camp during the summers, and climbed the ranks at his local branch before shifting his career to focus on camping and adventure. He served as the Senior Program Director of the YMCA of Greater Boston’s Overnight Camps and moved on to become the Executive Director of Camp Bauercrest in Amesbury. Before joining The Granite YMCA, he had made his way to Colorado to start an outdoor adventure camp with Avid4 Adventure in Boulder, CO. However, Eric has always had the Y in mind and we are excited to welcome him as the Executive Director of the YMCA Allard Center of Goffstown.  Eric has seen and experienced first-hand the power of the Y community in teaching the valuable lessons of life that will enable anyone for success, no matter their life’s pursuit. When he’s not at work, you can find him at competing at the curling club, tinkering around his shop at home, paddling around local lakes and exploring the backcountry in every way he can with his wife and his fuzzy pup Roscoe.

Damon Honeycutt
Associate Gymnastics Director/Gymnastics Camp Director

Damon joined the YMCA Allard Center team in 2022. He grew up in Southern Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, and California and has practiced martial arts and parkour for over 35 years. He has always taught on a grassroots level, for he feels that the above arts need to be open and available to all with the passion, curiosity, or need to practice them. Martial arts led Damon to tour over 20 countries as a professional dancer and performer, and during this, he was able to learn, explore, refine and teach his skills to a multitude of people from all over the world. While Damon has not had much experience with the YMCA yet, he has always been impressed by its mission. It is that mission that brought him to the Y. He strives to support the gymnastic and ninja programs we have and expand them as well in an inclusive collaborative way. Damon looks forward to the future working with Meg, Anna, and the entire Gymnastics team!
