AALBSF Board of Directors
Chris Israel
FOUNDER / DIRECTOR
Chris, a veteran with the 82nd Airborne division of the Army, has been active in veteran groups and charities since his honorable discharge from service in 1997. After years of participating in some wonderful organizations, he decided to focus his time and energy on combining two of his passions, surf fishing and veteran's activities and AALBSF was born.
Mike Barnes
DIRECTOR
Mike grew up in Louisiana and the Texas Gulf Coast with a passion for outdoors and fishing. His knowledge about land based shark fishing and assuring that equipment used is adaptable to the needs of those one each trip is instrumental in the success of AALBSF.
Rachelle Romines
DIRECTOR
Rachelle's extensive experience in marketing, fundraising and business administration allows her to serve AALBSF in achieving their primary mission of building comradery and a community for United States Veterans and active military. Rachelle's Bachelor of Science in Psychology is indicative of her passion for promoting mental heath and effective alternative treatments for battling many of the challenges faced by those that have served our military.
Brandon Romines
DIRECTOR
Brandon is dedicated to acts of service for others and it serves the AALBSF mission well. His generous heart is always at the forefront of everything he does with AALBSF and other charitable organizations he has held offices with. He also lends his fishing, carpentry, and culinary skills to our adventure therapy.
