We are excited to introduce our new Recreation Superintendent, Joshua Handelsman (he's the one with the beard!) He recently moved to North Carolina from Illinois, where he managed facilities, parks, leagues, and a variety of recreation programming. Josh holds a degree in Recreation Management from Illinois State University and has earned the Certified Parks and Recreation Professional designation, a national standard for parks and recreation professionals who want to be at the forefront of their profession.
However, he will tell you that first and foremost, he is a proud dad to two amazing little boys and happily married to his wife, Jenn, who works as a nurse in Charlotte. You will probably see Josh and his family out and about at our events and programs, so be sure to say hello!
