Greg Young, Chairman
Greg is currently working at The Department of State . A graduate of George Mason University , he has been actively maintaining local trails and waterways since 1993. Being an avid kayaker and mountain cyclist, he recognized the need to repair and restore the local environment. He felt the best way to accomplish his goal was to share the environment with people who are often not exposed to it. He along with several friends saw a need to form a grass roots organization that would put rubber to the road, thus the Vienna Yacht Club was born.
