Officers

I have been a member of NAGVA since 2011 and have served on the NAGVA Board of Directors as a Member-At-Large (2016-2019) and as the Vice-President of Tournaments (2019). Since 2012, I have served as part of the leadership committee for the Balls of Furry Volleyball Group in San Francisco. I am a proud Middle in NAGVA's B Division, and love to travel for tournaments. I want to constantly improve our tournaments and the member experience, and am happy to contribute to our community.

I have been a member of NAGVA since 2015. I did not start playing volleyball until 2013 in our local league in Columbus, OH. NAGVA has given me more than I can probably ever give back. This organization has helped me find my chosen family, even love. Hopefully through my service as the VP of Tournaments, I can help this organization continue to be special for someone/everyone else like it has been for me. See you all on the courts.

I have been a member of NAGVA since 2011. I am a late bloomer to volleyball and only began learning the game at the local Dayton LGBT Volleyball Open Gym in 2009. Since diving head first into the sport we all love I have co-captained multiple Dayton teams, and joined numerous others from all parts of the United States to lend my abilities and team spirit. I look forward to bringing my love for the sport and this organization to this position.

I’ve been an active NAGVA member since 2012. Since then, I have volunteered with the Los Angeles Volleyball Organization (LAVO) helping with the Sin City Classic and Palm Springs Legends tournaments (among others). I look forward to helping NAGVA to continue to grow and foster an inclusive community for all players.

Aloha, my name is Kerry Phomtavong, but everyone knows me by Ohu. I was born and raised on the island of Oahu, but now I call San Francisco my home. I have been part of NAGVA since 2019 and in this short amount of time I have made friends and some who became like a family to me. Before becoming a Member-at-Large, I have helped out with local tournaments in SF and when traveling if help is needed, I'm more than happy to help out. NAGVA has brought joy to my life and it will continue to for many more years. I look forward to working with this wonderful organization and helping it grow even bigger than it is now.

I have been a NAGVA member since 2016 and finding this organization made me fall in love with volleyball again as a queer person. Prior to NAGVA, I played at the NCAA D1/2 level and NCVF D1 club as a Libero and a Setter. I am a college coach, most recently serving as the assistant men's coach at Carthage College. This organization has given me so much, and I am excited to give back to NAGVA and the LGBTQIA+ community. NAGVA has helped me see and become the representation that I wanted so badly in athletics as I was growing up and I look forward to continuing the growth of such an incredible organization and being a voice for the membership.

I have been a member of NAGVA since 2014, and not long after joining, I began helping Rich organize tournaments in the Bay Area. Over the years, I've also volunteered at out-of-state tournaments, including Portland and Sin City, whenever extra support was needed.

Volleyball has given me the opportunity to build lasting friendships and be part of an amazing community, so I'm always happy to give back however I can. As a board member, I look forward to helping our league continue to grow and provide a welcoming, fun, and competitive environment for players of all skill levels. I hope to keep playing volleyball until I'm 90, and I'm excited to help ensure others can enjoy the league for years to come.

I have been an active member of NAGVA since 2004. I am fortunate, and very proud, to have served on the Board since 2008 in the roles of Registrar, Eligibility, Regions, Tournaments, Treasurer, and as President. I have also served as director for New York’s Big Apple tournament for 15 years and the original Masters tournament for 10 years. I thank NAGVA for giving me fulfilling friendships, great competition, and love of new places across North America.

NAGVA has been an integral part of my life since 2002. In 2010, I started the San Francisco Red, White & Blue Ball tournament. The last 16 years have brought me invaluable experience as a tournament director, allowing me to bring my desires as a player to the tournament experience, and eventually brought me into the NAGVA family. I began volunteering with NAGVA as a rater and regional commissioner in late 2020. I look forward to giving back as much as was given to me by this community.

I have been a proud member of NAGVA since 2021, when I attended my first tournament in Minneapolis. I currently play in the BB Division and serve as a Division 2 captain with Gotham Volleyball in New York City. As Director of Communications, I am excited to help tell the stories that make NAGVA special. My goal is to preserve the welcoming and inclusive community that has made this organization feel like home for so many members while growing our social media presence and keeping our members connected throughout the year. I look forward to helping showcase the incredible people who make NAGVA what it is and can't wait to see you all on the courts!
