MIKE KRAYNANSKI
I am 44 years old and have been visiting OBSC1 since I met my wife Eileen 18 years ago. We were married on the dunes of OBSC 1 so this neighborhood holds cherished memories for our family. I have been a police officer for 22 years and a volunteer firefighter for 26 years. I have enjoyed serving as a Trustee over the past 4 years in the position of Sergeant at arms and look forward to continuing volunteering for our community.
TONY SICOLI
My name is Tony Sicoli. I live in Short Hills, NJ with my wife, Lina and our 3 children Noelle (22), Sara (19) and PJ (16). I grew up in NJ, spending my summers on Long Beach Island in Beach Haven West and Surf City. I have been an avid boater and beach goer my entire life. In 2022, we were fortunate enough to join the OBSC community, and bought our home on Ocean Road. We love it here. My favorite time to be here is in the off season. It’s so beautiful. I work for Bank of America, a global bank, as the Head of Corporate Communications for Merrill. In my free time, I enjoy watching my son play high school football, visiting my daughters at college, relaxing at the beach and taking a ride on my boat. It would be my honor for me to be able to join the board at OBSC one day and give back to our beautiful community. Thank you for your consideration.
RENEE SIMLER
My name is Renee Simler and am currently serving as the Beach Badge Trustee. I am a retired high school teacher from Jefferson Twp., New Jersey. My family has been part of the Ocean Beach community since 1952, starting with my grandparents purchasing a home on E. Barnegat Way where my mother is still an annual summer resident. My husband and I purchased a home in 1997 on E. Shore Way, with the intention of having our three children experience the same fun filled summers we did as kids. At some point all of my children have worked on the beach contributing to the community. As a board member I will continue to keep OBSC a place people will want to be part of either as a resident or renter. I will always be open for input and suggestions of how to better our community.
JOHN TEDESCO
John has been a Trustee for many years serving as the Beach Trustee. In his role, John is responsible for maintaining our beach and overseeing the lifeguards ensuring they have proper support and equipment to do their jobs well. In 2020, John was also responsible for additional sanitization measures implemented to keep our beach safe during the pandemic. He is also responsible for building and repairing the benches around our community.
BARRY TETRAULT
Barry has served as a Trustee since early 2020 as Corresponding Secretary, responsible for coordinating Club communications via email, our website, social media platforms etc. Since joining the board in 2020, Barry has increased the frequency and consistency of communications including our social media channels to better engage with members and renters throughout the summer months. He is also responsible for the social committee which plans activities such as live music and DJs on the beach, yoga, BINGO, trivia and crafts, movie nights and more which help make OBSC1 a great place to be all summer long.
