Danielle Sellers

VICE PRESIDENT

My family relocated to Lincoln from the North Shore of Oahu in 2015. It was in Lincoln with LJZ that my boys found their passion, football. Once an athlete myself, I am a physical education teacher of 31 years and I specialize in teaching physical education to students with disabilities. I believe all children have a fundamental need and right to express themselves through movement and sports. I am so proud of our athletes, they have exceeded all expectations from climate to culture to athleticism on the field, and I am looking forward to continuing to grow this program! Let's make Twelve Bridges proud! 

Becky Moore

SECRETARY

My family and I have lived in Lincoln for 18 years and absolutely love our town! We've spent countless hours watching our son play sports and have met so many wonderful families through Lincoln Recreation programs.  I have been an elementary school teacher in Roseville  for 20+ years and love helping to support youth programs in Placer County.  Stepping into this role of Fundraising Director has made me even more proud to be a resident of Lincoln.  The support we have already received from local businesses and community members has been amazing.  We can't wait to kick off our inaugural season of Jr. Rhinos.

Donna Buss

CHEER DIRECTOR

I’ve been part of the Lincoln community for the past 17 years and have been involved with cheer for about as long. I’ve been a team mom, Cheer Coordinator, Cheer Director, Assistant Cheer Director then back to Cheer Director again with the Lincoln Jr. Zebras. I'm beyond proud to represent our cheer community with starting up the Jr. Rhino cheer program. We have a talented group of young athletes waiting to be a Jr. Rhinos. I’m looking forward to working with our Twelve Bridges High School Cheer program that is run by Danielle Pacheco who has been part of the Lincoln cheer community for the past 9 years. 

Nick Freitas

FOOTBALL DIRECTOR

I coach QBs for varsity and offense coordinator for JV. I have been coaching at twelve bridges this will be my 4th season. As far as my playing career I played QB at Sacramento St in 2001. I graduated from Paso Robles High School in 1999. As a QB for Paso Robles I lead them to the 1998 CIF championship. I had two school records when I graduated for most passing TDs in a game 5 and most passing yards 259. I was first team all league QB. I went to Allan Hancock CC out of high school and I played in the JC state championship in 1999 against SFCC. Currently I own my own business called Freitrain Consulting. I have four kids Haley 23, Brayden 14, Olivia 12 and Max 11. I am married to my beautiful wife Amber Freitas. When I am not on the field I am the football coordinator for Jr Rhinos and AA player agent for Lincoln Little League.

Alyssa Cummings

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INFORMATION

My husband, our two boys and I moved to Twelve Bridges in 2020 and fell in love instantly. The area and community is everything we wanted for our family. I have been involved with this program since the inaugural season with my older son playing PeeWee. 2023 was a big year for me starting my photography/ videography business as well as being invited to take sideline pictures during the football games. I now have both my boys playing in this program and continue to take sideline pictures for our football teams as well as our cheer teams and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kathy Rogers

TREASURER

While I am not a Lincoln local, I support it whole-heartedly! I have ties to both the city of Lincoln and to the Jr. Rhinos program. My granddaughter is a Pee Wee cheerleader, and my daughter-in-law is the Cheer Pee Wee head coach. As a mom of two grown kids and a Nana to 6 grandkids, my heart has always been with youth programs. I’ve been a PTA/PTO member and have held various board positions with youth sports programs. I’ve been an Accountant for over 20 years, and work with several non-profit organizations. I’m excited to be a part of the Jr. Rhinos program!

FUNDRAISING DIRECTOR

Joe Morgan is father to two Junior Rhinos (One has now moved up to the High School) and has been coaching in the program from the inaugural season. He has coached youth sports including Baseball, Soccer, Basketball, Flag Football, and Tackle Football. His Nephew (and hopefully Nieces as well) will be joining the program soon, so his coaching days are beginning anew. Joe first came to Lincoln to visit family in the 1980s but personally did not move here until 2001. At that time, he was still an active-duty Marine. In 2004 he received orders back to the desert and didn’t return until he separated from active duty in 2008 and has lived here ever since. He has volunteered in the community in many different roles. Art docent to multiple classrooms, sound board operator for many plays, leadership program director for Lincoln Crossing Elementary, VFW member, Dolphin Scuba board member, and more. His favorite thing outside of coaching is diving with sharks around the world, and if you ever bring it up, he will talk your ear off, so beware. In all of those roles his favorite thing is using sports and coaching as a way to develop youth into people of character. He believes sports are the best way to teach many of the intangible skills that define the remainder of a player’s life. Judgment, Integrity, Dependability, Endurance, Unselfishness, and Enthusiasm to name a few. As the Fundraising Director he will work to ensure the program has not only the funds to continue, but also the ability to grow and help influence and develop as many local kids as possible into people of greater character.

Chris Boden

EQUIPMENT DIRECTOR

As the Equipment Director for the Jr Rhinos youth football team, I am dedicated to ensuring our players have the highest quality equipment to perform at their best. I’ve been involved with Lincoln youth sports for many years and seen firsthand the impact that quality equipment can have on a player’s performance. I work closely with our coaches, equipment providers & athletes to ensure that our players have everything required for optimal performance and compete safely. When I'm not on the field, I work as a Wholesale Commercial Insurance Broker. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities like fishing and golf. I cherish spending quality time with my family: my wife, Sara, and our two children, Ashley and Dean. I’m proud to be a part of the Jr Rhinos family and I’m excited to continue working with our players, coaches, and parents to make this season a success. Let’s go Rhino’s!

Kiera O'Mallan

SPIRIT WEAR COORDINATOR

Born and raised on the island of Guam, I have called Lincoln Crossing my home away from home for the past 15 years. I have a wonderful husband and two boys, and together we run a local screen printing business. Through years of our boys participating in youth sports programs in Lincoln, our family has developed a deep love for this community—especially for football. My eldest son has been playing tackle and flag football since he was old enough, and he is now heading into his fifth season of tackle and second year as a Jr. Rhino on the Jr. Midgets team. Last year was our first season with the team, and we were proud to be part of the Jr. Rhinos' Pee Wee Divisional Championship win. From the moment we joined the Jr. Rhinos, we immediately connected with the team's strong sense of culture, community and team spirit, making us feel at home. I’m excited to continue this journey with such an amazing organization. As Spirit Wear Coordinator, I’m thrilled to bring my experience in screen printing and apparel to create high-quality, team-branded gear that our players, cheerleaders, and families can wear with pride. I look forward to a fantastic season and can’t wait to see our Jr. Rhinos community in action! Go Rhinos!

Joanna Reed

SNACK BAR COORDINATOR

My family and I relocated to Lincoln in 2021. We love living in Lincoln Crossing and being a part of this incredible community. My husband, Adam, and I have been very involved in our kids' school, sports, and activities from coaching, to being team mom, classroom parent, volunteering, and cheering loudly as their biggest fans. I am a former kindergarten and Pre K teacher and have enjoyed my time as a stay-at-home mom for the past 15 years. My 4 kids are the light of my life - Hannah, Carter, Deacon, and Grayson. Being an involved member of our community is so important to me. I believe team sports and extracurricular activities are very beneficial to the physical and mental development of our kids. I am very excited to be joining the Jr Rhino family and plan to bring everything I can to the success of this program.

Christy Shultz 

ASSISTANT SNACK BAR COORDINATOR

In 2008, full of hopes for starting a family, my husband and I relocated to Twelve Bridges. Now, 15 years down the road and blessed with three incredible kids, we couldn't be more thankful for being embraced by this amazing community. This year marks my son's inaugural season playing tackle football with the PeeWee's, and witnessing his enthusiasm and growth as an athlete has brought us immense joy. Engaging with the Jr. Rhinos program fills me with excitement, and I eagerly anticipate contributing wherever I can.

Nick Fox

SITE DIRECTOR

Nick Fox is a dedicated husband and father, community leader, and proud supporter of youth athletics. Having been an assistant coach for the Jr. Rhinos, he strongly believes that watching young athletes compete, grow, and build character through sports is one of the most fulfilling things to witness. It inspires him to get more involved and give back to a sport that teaches life lessons far beyond the field. Professionally, Nick brings decades of leadership experience spanning business ownership, digital media, and public service. In the State Legislature, he has played a key role in strategic communication and grassroots engagement, including helping stop Assembly Bill 734 in 2024—a bill that proposed banning youth tackle football for children under 12. His firsthand understanding of the value of youth sports made him a strong advocate for protecting the right of families to choose the benefits of tackle football. As Site Director, Nick combines strong organizational skills with a passion for mentoring and community-building. He’s committed to ensuring the Jr. Rhinos program runs smoothly, supports every athlete and family, and continues to be a place where kids grow stronger in both skill and spirit. 

Grace Martin

TWELVE BRIDGES HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT LIAISON

I’ve lived in Lincoln my whole life and enjoy being involved in the community. I’ve been through all Twelve Bridges schools, TBE, TBMS and currently attending TBHS. Throughout my life I’ve met many amazing friends and families in Lincoln. I have enjoyed  growing up playing a couple sports and especially watching my brother play sports. It’s amazing to see how most of these kids who go through Jr. Rhinos move on to the TBHS football and cheer teams. I love being involved in all things school and community related. I’m so excited to see what this next season brings! Let’s go Rhinos!

Jeremy Bueno

Asst. Equipment Coordinator

My family and I relocated to the Twelve Bridges in 2019. We were previously in Roseville, which is where our son's, and thus our, athletic adventure began. Between being a baseball coach from 2018-2022, as well as a flag football coach from 2023-present, sports has always been a huge part of our family's life. Our first year with the TBJR program was the 2025 season, and our son, who will be a 2026 Jr. Midget, as well as our entire family, were hooked from the first practice. In my role as Assistant Equipment Director, I commit to ensuring that all equipment needs are met in a timely manner to ensure a safe environment for both our players and cheerleaders. I consider this role very important in achieving peak performance so that players and cheerleaders can be proud of the product they put both on the field, and into competitions. My motto has always been "look good, play good"! When not roaming the sidelines, I work as a Quality Systems Manager for a large medical device company focused on renal care products and dialysis systems. Hobbies include traveling, golf and spending as much time as possible with my wife and our two kids, Aryanna (15) and Micah (11). I'm honored to be a part of the TBJR family and look forward to an amazing 2026 season!
