	Shelly Smith Secretary Email:  [email protected] About Shelly: I am a passionate volunteer for Deer Canyon Little League.  Serving on the board for my 3rd season, previously as Information Officer (2017) and Player Agent (2018).  I love our DC community and sharing memories with my neighbors on the field.  My goal is to foster a strong community on and off the diamond. My son, Wayne, has been in the league for 4 seasons.  My daughter, Roxann (a.k.a. Roxy) played 1 season in T-ball and is contemplating returning this Spring.  In addition, I've been spending my weekends at DCLL games for the better part of the last 10 years watching my nephews play ball, Cole & Troy Seanoa.   This league means more to me than just a youth sports program.  The families of DC showered my family with so much love and support while my sister battled cancer.  Cassy made sure not to miss a game while she was undergoing chemo...she called it her Baseball Therapy. I am forever indebted to the League.  A little about me...I spent 4 years of my childhood attending schools in Etiwanda School District.  Left in 1993 as an adolescent to Las Vegas for 20 years.  I met my amazing husband, Tim, in 2004 and we married in 2006.  We've been fulfilling our dreams ever since.  One of which, was a company relocation to move to Rancho in 2013 to live near my family. We are forever working on many more life goals together. I spent most of my adult life working in the hospitality industry in Las Vegas.  Mostly at Caesars Palace, then opening The Cosmopolitan.  My forte was VIP.  I ran the VIP ticketed events for the entire Caesars corporation.  At The Cosmopolitan, I managed VIP Services, VIP Registration, VIP Concierge, and Resort Services Operations.  Now, with my plethora of experience, I was able to land a job, working at home for a software company, supporting Applicant Tracking Software for Symphony Talent...I was previously a user of the system.  I've been in this role since 2013. If I haven't already, I hope to have the pleasure of meeting you someday.  Please introduce yourself.
	Laura Bell-Nixon Treasurer Email: [email protected]   About Laura:  I am the newly appointed Treasurer for Deer Canyon Little League. I am of Panamanian an American descent. I went to a Azusa Pacific University and obtained a masters in education. I am currently a math teacher at a local high school, where I teach finance to seniors. I am married, with one child. Since assuming my new role, I've implemented measurements to compartmentalize spending and create absolute control over the funds throughout the league. This allocation of categories will clearly define our spending and show us where we can make changes as well as savings when it comes to league finances.

	Jesus Ochoa Director Rookie Division Email:[email protected] About Jesus: Hi everyone my name is Jesus Ochoa the Director of the Rookies Division. I have been with the league now for about 4 years and this is my first year on the board. I currently have two boys playing in the league and will have my youngest join his two older brothers in the league this upcoming spring. Over our time with DCLL my family and I have enjoyed all the bonds we have created with the other DCLL families. Its a tight nit community that has one goal in mind which is making our kids successful in school and in baseball. I love the game of baseball and as a manager/board member my goal is to continue the culture of educating our young boys and girls on how to play the sport. I have managed 2 fall teams as well as 2 spring teams with DCLL and being with the league as long as we have its fun seeing these kids grow up right in front of our eyes. I look forward to a fun year with plenty of good baseball and enjoyable moments with our DCLL friends and families. I am super approachable so feel free to ask me any little league or baseball questions you may have. GO DODGERS!
