MIFC Board of Directors

Greg has two boys playing soccer, and he played youth, high school, college and in a men's league. He has "retired" from playing but enjoys watching and coaching. He volunteers for the Club because he feels that soccer has given him so much, including lifelong friendships, and he wants to model that for his own boys. He believes it doesn't matter what level you play as long as you have fun.

Sara grew up playing soccer for Eastside FC since she was 11 years old. Although new to Mercer Island as of 2019, she is very familiar with the area being raised in Sammamish, moving here from Detroit at a young age. She loved playing competitively whether it was playing premiere or playing on the Washington ODP team for both state,  and regionals. However, due to a severe  knee injury, at the age of 17, Sara had to withdrawl from soccer tearing her ACL, MCL, LCL, and PCL all at once. Having to have to turned down her dreams of playing college ball, she gave up playing competitive soccer.  Her passion for the game have never left however, and now resides on Mercer Island with her son, daughter, husband and her many animals. She has taken on coaching in hopes to inspire the youth of soccer,  and perhaps one day growing the popularity of the game here in the states. Her hobbies include snowboarding, skiing, wake surfing, wake boarding, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time with her family.

Scott Leber
President Elect

I have lived on Mercer Island since 2019 and currently have 3 kids (Taylor 2011, AJ 2014, Katherine 2017) playing within MIFC.  Soccer has been a part of my journey since I was little boy and has given me so much joy . I have been a player, a coach, a trainer and now, I am excited to give back to the community I live in as a board member.  I believe soccer (and all sports for that matter) have the incredible opportunity to teach many valuable life lessons, plant seeds for meaningful relationships and can also be an avenue to amazing opportunities.
