MoCo Spurs 2025-2026 Board of Directors
MoCo Spurs 2025-2026 Board of Directors
Iain Sawyer (Chair)
Iain was born into a Spurs family in the club’s heartlands and lived in London for many years before moving to Maryland. His first in-person game was Tottenham vs Spartak Moscow in 2008 on a cold December night which ended 2-2 (he still loved it). As the current chair of the MoCo Spurs board, Iain does a little bit of everything. He lives in Rockville and taught his daughter the lyrics to “Oh When The Spurs Go Marching In” when she was two-years old. He also spends too much time posting on Bluesky and listening to or talking about Spurs podcasts.
Jeff Strenkowski
Jeff has been a Spurs fan since childhood. He renewed his passion for the team when he attended his first Premier League match in 2017 (Spurs beat Leicester, at Wembley, in a 5-4 dogfight on Championship Sunday 2017, ending the season third in the table and setting the team up for their historic 2018 Champions Leage run). As a co-founder of MoCo Spurs in 2022, he worked to secure official OSC recognition from THFC, then spent the following two years organizing meetups and growing the group. He lives in Sandy Spring, Maryland, and is too afraid to bring his dogs to match days at Saints.
Marcus Melton
Marcus became a fan during the Tactics Tim Sherwood season and has never looked back. He describes himself as a relentless optimist with the annoying trait of supporting every manager we’ve had during his fandom. As a true fan, he says he doesn’t let his complete lack of experience disrupt his steadfast belief that he knows better than anyone else what the team should be doing with regards to squad selection, formation, substitutions or kit design. His interest in joining the board was driven almost exclusively by a desire to support the few brave souls who picked this season to promote a new supporters club.
Max Balagtas-Badoy
Max joined the Montgomery County Spurs board because MoCo Spurs has become a truly meaningful part of his life over the past two years. It has deepened both his passion for football and his connection to the local community, and he values the opportunity to give back to a group that has genuinely enriched his sense of purpose. He’s especially interested in helping strengthen what already makes this club special -- whether by expanding our FPL engagement, organizing special watch parties/outings, or developing additional off-season programming. He has a background in event planning and organizational outreach and is eager to apply his experience in ways that supports MoCo Spurs' continued growth and impact in whatever capacity he can.
Laurence Canete
Laurence became a Spurs fan during the Conte reign and cementing his obsession with the club after witnessing Sonny’s 13-minute hat trick against Leicester after coming off of the bench. Since becoming a Tottenham fan, he has grown a tolerance for pain, an insatiable desire for glory, and the firm belief that if we chant loud enough, the footballers on the tv screen will do better. He’s interested in joining the Moco Spurs board so he can give back to the supporters club that enriched his fandom, be engaged with the wider Spurs community, and ensure that Montgomery County is always lilywhite.
