The Board of Directors are responsible for the running of the Brigade, and work hard to make your gameday experience as great as possible. Members get the chance to vote on who sits on the Board of Directors in biennial elections, and have an opportunity to run for a position themselves!

JOE GARCIA
President

Tech-savvy, maker, board game enthusiast, soccer lover from California. I love making things, whether it's brewing beer, 3D printing or laser engraving. You can often find me in my Hammers (or Legion!) kit, enjoying a pint and having fun with my dogs.​​

SIMON ILES
VP; Secretary

As a Brit now living in Birmingham, being a part of the ever-growing soccer community here has been a fantastic experience and a point of connection with my old home! With my new hometown gaining a professional team, I'm delighted to be a part of the Brigade's growth at such an exciting time.

MACK McDANIEL
Treasurer

Footballer, proud ginger and devoted to the City of Birmingham!

GLENN STEPHENS

Grew up in South Alabama and taught myself the rules of soccer while watching the 2006 World Cup. University of Montevallo grad, Tottenham fan, can (almost) carry an entire conversation in just movie quotes.

NIC GULAS
Capo; GAMEDAY OPS

The loud one yelling at you to yell at him. I'm a Birmingham native that's been along for this wild soccer ride in the Magic City since it began and can't wait to see where the MCB takes us next.

SCOTT CRAWFORD
GAMEDAY OPS

Avid soccer enthusiast and blogger at Birmingham Backline. Appreciates 2-1 wins and loves a good tailgate.
