I consider myself to have the lowest “soccer IQ” in the NUU family, but after joining NUU, my reluctance to get involved in youth sports quickly transformed into a desire to share this experience with as many youth as possible. Through discussions with the NUU staff, I realized the best way for me to contribute was by joining the board.

As a small business owner, I recognized the opportunity to apply lessons learned from managing my own business to help NUU handle its growth and build a solid foundation for long-term success. I believe that our youth are our most precious resource, and I see NUU as a fantastic platform for them to learn life lessons that will serve them well beyond the field.

I am a proud husband and father to five wonderful children. My passion for serving the community shines through in various aspects of life, and I find great joy in being an active part of it. Whether it’s camping, fishing, bicycling, or exploring other outdoor activities, I love spending time in nature and staying active.

By day, I own and operate Bair Auto Repair, where I am fully committed to providing quality service to our customers. Outside of work, I’ve been coaching soccer for around 15 years, an experience that has brought me immense joy. For the past 8 years, I’ve also served on the Northern Utah United board of directors, working to ensure the continued growth and success of the organization. There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching young players develop and grow through the beautiful game of soccer.

My name is Brannon Zollinger I am a junk food addict, crafter, part time athlete, lover of music, Sugar & the smell of Rain.

Besides the obvious!! I am a mother to 3 beautiful girls and I work full time for Utah State University with an accounting and business management background. I hold myself to a high degree of integrity and ethical standard that is conveyed in my work, behavior, and character that has helped establish strong relationships. I am excited to be part of the NUU team to help foster ways to improve service to its customers.

I have lived in Cache Valley for 29 years. I was raised in Fielding Utah, population 402. This is where my love for soccer began. I grew up playing soccer on my older brothers’ team, with my dad as our coach. From there began my love for soccer & I’ve been trying to be the best soccer mom ever since.

My name is Nathan Oak and I’m an accountant for Logan City and the proud father of 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). I grew up all over the country as my father was a nuclear engineer. Most of my growing up time was spent in Eastern Washington and Northern San Diego County. My wife, Genessa, is also from Southern California. It was in Washington that I started my love of soccer. I started playing at 4 years old and played competitive soccer for over 20 years having played in high school and college. I also was a registered soccer referee for more than a decade.

I have lived in Cache Valley since 1992 and graduated from USU in 1996. I love this valley and all it has to offer. All 4 of my kids play for Northern Utah United. I love the all-inclusive, nurturing, developing attitude of NUU and am proud to be associated with such an amazing group.

My name is Sierra, I am a Cache Valley native, and grew up playing, refereeing, coaching and volunteering in this community- and excited to now be a part of it again. Now with the added bonus of getting to watch my kids experience it for themselves!

I attended Sky View High School and then moved on to USU where I graduated in 2014. I went on to start a career in Event Coordinating, and then into Project Management. I enjoyed my job immensely, and prided myself in my productivity and the commitment I brought to my employment. I did eventually leave become a full time stay at home mom.

My husband and I got married in 2015, and now live in Hyde Park with our three little girls, our cat and dog, and five chickens. When we are not running from activity to activity. We love to spend time outdoors- biking, hiking, camping and traveling.

In my personal life- I am a lover of all types of caffeine and sweets! I run a side hustle of making custom bespoke cakes. It pretty much fills every inch of time we have left in our schedule. But I love the creativity of it so much!

I love being able to be a part of NUU and the soccer community again- and I’m so excited to get to grow with this program!
