Dave Yeck, CFO - HOPE, Membership & Newsletter Director
Dave grew up in Southwestern Ohio where his first off road expierence's were with a Toyota Land Cruiser and a 1964 Tuxedo Park Mark IV Jeep. He later porogressed to dirt bikes and then in the late 90's while watching a TV series called Renegade he saw a Hummer for the first time and that was it - he had to have one. So in April of 1999 he purcgased a 4DROT and in October of that year he began going off road.
Since then he has been off road at least 2 or 3 times per year attending many dealership and Hummer club events.
Dave now lives in Sellersville, PA and is putting his 25 years of owning and operating a variety of businesses to use with The Hummer Club, Inc, He believes an open line of communication with the membership is an important vehicle to help The Hummer Club, Inc. grow and invites all members to contact him with any ideas, questions or concerns.

Greg Athey, Director - Azimuth
Greg has worked for GenFed Financial Credit Union for the past 15 years and currently is the CIO / VP of Information Technology. For a short time, due to my background and knowledge in accounting, I also held the title of CFO as we transition from one CFO to another. I believe my technical background, financial and management experience will be an added benefit to the club.
My love of Hummer's began with the ownership of an H2 in 2007 which was then followed up with a 2001 H1 open top. I've been a member of The Hummer Club for 2 years and have enjoyed meeting the different people and the knowledge gained from them. While attending 3 events a year, one of my goals is to attend one new event each year in an effort to meet the members coming to the events and learn more about the club.
\As it turns out, I've been fortunate enough to couple my love for Hummer's with my career. With the help of a past board member, we were able to make The Hummer Club a member of the credit union which in turn allowed him to achieve his dream of owning an H1 with a loan from GenFed. It is my hope to help as many members as possible to acquire these great trucks which hopefully will translate to more interest and participation in the club.
