Dick Carle
A serial entrepreneur who cut his teeth in marketing, advertising and the business of sports; Dick now runs a marketing consulting practice and a firm that deals in luxury yachts and private jets. Originally from New Jersey, he has experienced the thrill of Pele & the Cosmos in their heyday 70's, an NCAA D1 championship at a small school, and the comedy of occasionally trying to play against guys half his age. His wife used to accompany him from Orange County to the Rose Bowl for each home game, but since 2003 they've been blessed with an appreciably shorter drive, and a little girl who makes the games that much more fun. You'll either find him dashing between clients and friends that he's introducing to the game, or scrambling after his daughter in the Stadium Club.
Steve Lesse
Steve Lesse is the director of sales at Santana Cycles, Inc. the World's largest builder of lightweight tandem bicycles. Additionally Santana runs a series of worldwide luxury Vacation Tandem Adventure trips. Steve has many years of volunteer service on a variety of nonprofit school and youth group boards. Steve currently serves on the B.O.D. of AYSO Region 13 and is the current President of the Webb Schools of California Alumni Council.
Long time Galaxy fans, Steve, his wife Michelle and daughters Marina and Catalina, used to go next door to the Rose Bowl for each Galaxy home game; since 2003 they have been treated to a much longer drive to a much more exciting soccer venue, the Home Depot Center which provides for a fantastic overall game experience. You can usually find Steve with a group of soccer fans that he has brought to the game or relaxing and enjoying the game with his family.
Steven M. Rosenbery
Steve’s wife Karla and three children Marian, Carey and Jason are regulars at the Home Depot Center. He became a galaxy fan in 2000 after looking to do something special with his boys – both of whom play for Corona United. Steve found that the galaxy games were a family friendly environment that the whole family could enjoy. As a Galaxy Ambassador, it gives him the opportunity to interact with community groups and soccer clubs and show them the type of venue that the Galaxy have to offer as well as to help promote youth soccer programs throughout the area.
Steve coached Perris Soccer Club for two years and in AYSO Region 187 for 3 years. From 2000-2004 he acted as President of Perris Soccer Club and subsequently served as President of the Moreno Valley Heat for two years. He is a coach licensed by CYSA as well as an Accredited Referee and member of the Inland Empire Soccer Referee Association.
Steve is a native of Dayton, Ohio and has lived in California since 1962, except for a fifteen year stint in Guatemala from 1984-1999.
Fabian Santillan
Fabian Santillan is a partner with firm of Aragon, Santillan & Associates. This family business was started over 25 years ago and keeps him very busy, but still affords him the time to be out on the soccer field almost every afternoon. The firm is primarily focused in income tax compliance and consulting for Individuals and Small Businesses. Fabian also has a couple of former and current MLS players as tax clients.
Fabian has also served on the Board of Directors with Long Beach Youth Soccer Organization for several years as the Director of Coaching. His primary responsibility is the recruiting of new coaches and coaching education. He volunteers most of his time to the children and soccer in the Long Beach community. Fabian is a USSF Nationally Licensed coach and coaches various levels within his club. He is also on the Coaching Staff with Cal South, providing training courses for new coaches. Fabian still finds the time to fit in a game for himself on Sunday mornings with his mens soccer team.
You’ll usually see Fabian with his wife Michele and his daughters Christina-Marie and Adriana, cheering on the Galaxy at every home game. If he’s not in his regular season seats, it’s because he brought his entire FC Long Beach GU11 club team with him (www.lbgrassstains.com), and they're sitting in a different section.
