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.

Rob joins our association with a love for the YMCA, its mission, and our impact on local youth and the communities around us. Rob has been with the YMCA for over 14 years now. Beginning his career at the YMCA in Lynn, MA as the School Age Child Care Director, and moving on to be the Executive Director for both the Revere and Saugus YMCA’s. After moving to Sanford, Maine in 2008, Rob became the Operations Director for a resident camp for 3 years and an Executive Pastor at a church in Sanford for 9 years. Needless to say, Rob comes to us with extensive knowledge in YMCA practices, child care, management, and so much more. We are very excited to have him as a member of our team! In his role as Executive Director, he hopes to continue developing great relationships and partnerships in Strafford County and looks to help support and strengthen the communities around us.
