Our Team
The AH Board is comprised of local professionals that have one goal in mind - to give youth sports back to the kids. Our collaborative strengths offer a unique backbone in coaching, public awareness, financial stability and growth to further develop the organization that was initiated by the heart and soul of a child himself!
CHANA McINTYRE- President
WHAT'S MY WHY? The best thing about what we do is that we are not only here to develop the kids skills but also to help develop their confidence in themselves.
FUN FACT: Chana was a starting power forward on her high school varsity basketball team in Manhattan at Birch Wathen Lenox school.
SCOTT GLASHEEN- Communications Director
WHAT'S MY WHY? I love the organization and what it stands for. Youth sports taught me values that apply in everyday life and some of my favorite childhood memories are from playing sports as a kid. I believe that every kid deserves a chance to learn those lessons and create those memories and I love contributing to an organization whose main focus is to create a positive environment where they can do just that.
FUN FACT: Athletic Haven Founder Scott McIntyre was my JV coach for 2 years at Voorheesville High School.
SCOTT McINTYRE- Treasurer
WHAT'S MY WHY? This organization was founded in memory of my son Tyler. He was happy and caring, a great teammate, incredibly resilient, and loved to have fun and help people. I could think of no better way to honor his memory than to help other youth athletes feel the same.
FUN FACT: As a child, Scott was a championship roller-skater.

NAOMI STORCH- Vice-President
WHAT'S MY WHY? I often attribute much of my character to the invaluable lessons about discipline, perseverance and resilience that I gained while participating in sports from a young age. Sports not only offered a venue to help build my confidence but inspired me to show the same support coaches and teammates provided me along the way. Athletic Haven's mission aims to give aspiring athletes that same feeling of inclusion, aspiration and confidence. These are just a few examples why Athletic Haven's mission is so crucial for the future of other children to succeed.
FUN FACT: Naomi held the 100m dash collegiate record for 13 years before it was broken by .30 seconds!

DOUG LENZ
WHAT'S MY WHY? I have been a soccer, softball & baseball coach for many years. One of my life motto's is "Impact Lives" and coaching kids is an exceptional way to achieve this goal. Hearing about the Athletic Haven's mission to help create opportunities for all kids to play and compete in sports motivated me to volunteer. Knowing how involvement in team sports can impact so many positive aspects of a young child's life makes my time helping Athletic Haven so worthwhile.
FUN FACT: Doug is an Adirondack 46er which means that he has climbed all 46 peaks higher than 4000 ft in the Adirondack Mountains - in both summer and winter! This feat is equivalent to climbing Mt Everest 7 times!
