Meet the tSBoard of Directors

Marco Puccia

Board Chair

Senior Corporate Counsel

Slalom

Marco (he/him) and his wife Caitlin have been tSB supporters since 2015, when they were first introduced to the organization by a friend. He has been inspired by tSB’s mission of creating a safe space and community for youth of diverse backgrounds to learn from each other, develop as leaders, and experience all of the great outdoor activities that the PNW has to offer.

He is a regular attendee at Soiree and Retro Fools Day, and volunteers as a photographer during snowboarding days in the winter. Marco is excited to bring his experience as an in-house attorney and love for the outdoors to the tSBoard to help the organization continue to thrive and make an impact in the community.

Marco has lived in the Seattle area for over 10 years. He studied international development and economics at American University, spent a semester abroad in Nairobi, Kenya, and then received his JD at Seattle University School of Law. Outside of work, Marco enjoys spending time in the mountains hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, paddle boarding, mountain biking, and spending time with his wife and two dogs at their home in North Bend.

Fumiya Kawahara

Secretary

Senior Engineer – Quality Engineering
Salesforce Inc.

Fumiya (he/him) originally joined the tSB family in 2012 as a snowboard instructor and volunteer. Looking for a way to give back to the local community and share his love of snowboarding, tSB proved to be the fit he was looking for. Over the last decade with tSB, he has learned that there is much more to the mission than just outdoor adventure and has grown as an individual throughout the process. He is continuously amazed by the dedication, people, and impact the group brings together and looks forward to driving the mission onward as a board member.

Born in Japan, raised in Michigan, and Seattle transplant since 2010. He bought a one way ticket to Seattle to get closer to the mountains he loved and hasn’t looked back since. Fumiya has held a number of jobs throughout the years from customer service to supply chain management. Currently he has been applying his problem solving skills in the software development world as a senior engineer. When not snowboarding he enjoys mountain biking, reading, listening to music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with his cat Winslow.

Carina Tran

Board of Directors

Project Manager – Lululemon

Carina (she/her) first joined the tSB family as a snowboard instructor in 2023. After a few years of volunteering she wanted to “push her growing edge” and joined the tSBoard in June 2025. Born and raised in Seattle, Carina directly understands the value tSB programming focused on social justice and outdoor adventure brings to the development of our young people. This understanding and her continuous passion for her community has led her to bring her experiences and professional skill set to carry out tSB’s mission, building community through youth.

While she presently works as a project manager, she began her early career earning a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Washington and specialized in bridge construction for multiple light rail projects in the Greater Seattle area. Though she has transitioned from work of literally building up the community, social justice and leveling out the playing field still remains a focus for her as she continues to find new ways to do so. Outside of the winter months where she is snowboarding with tSB, Carina enjoys learning a new sport or having a good cup of coffee or matcha in different neighborhood cafes

Tracy Hanna

Vice Chair

Associate Principal

Equity Community Builders

 

Tracy joined the Service Board in 2024 to work with a local organization dedicated to empowering youth and inspiring them to reach beyond their perceived limits. While a relative newcomer to Seattle, Tracy spent many years in the San Francisco Bay Area in non-profit organizations and serving on Boards focused on education and youth development. She then transitioned to working in commercial real estate development where she continues to partner with nonprofit organizations looking to develop real estate for long term sustainability.

As a Board member for tSB, Tracy brings a background in youth development, organizational management, and budgeting to support and promote tSB’s mission. She earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at UC Berkeley in Psychology and Social Welfare, and then a second master’s in Educational Leadership from the Broad Institute. She currently serves as the Vice Chair as well as a member of the Finance Committee.

When not at work or with tSB, Tracy can be found playing games or exploring everything the PNW has to offer – from spending time outdoors around Seattle and the larger Puget Sound to eating at all the amazing local restaurants –  with her wife, two daughters, and their dog.

Mike Manuel

Board of Directors

Flight Test Engineer – Boeing
Mike (he/him) is new to tSBoard as of 2023 and is honored to continue the tSB mission of empowering our youth through culturally relevant – and necessary – programming. After joining tSB in 2020, he supported as a snowboard instructor before taking 2023 off to grow his family with his loving partner and newborn child. As a new father, he was constantly reminded of the importance of programs such as tSB which provide a safe space to develop lifelong values of social justice, service, community, and of course outdoor adventure.
As a 2nd generation Filipino American, his family felt the importance of both hard work and community in a new country – but never had access to the outdoors for financial and cultural reasons. After moving to the PNW in 2011, he was finally able to connect with the natural world with a lens of healing and joy through activities like snowboarding, surfing, climbing, and mountain biking. Since fostering that connection, he has always sought to share his experiences back to his community. He has had the honor of volunteering with organizations such as Climbers of Color, Vertical Generation, International Rescue Committee, and the North West Avalanche Center as a mentor, instructor, photographer, board member, and executive director. He’s also built deep roots in the outdoor industry as a climber and snowboarder. Mike is excited bring this experience as he begins his new chapter on the tSBoard of Directors and looks forward to the growth to come!

Brad Carnine

Treasurer

Attorney

Ryan, Swanson and Cleveland

Brad (he/him) joined the tSBoard in March of 2024, a Washington native he has a rich background in retail buying and management at REI Co-op, where his focus was on the Snowsports industry, and snowboarding in particular, fueled a passion for outdoor accessibility. This experience aligns with the tSB’s mission to connect youth with nature and leadership opportunities. Transitioning to a legal career, Brad specializes in estate planning and business law, bringing strategic insight and a commitment to integrity to his board service.

An avid traveler, Brad’s global adventures have deepened his appreciation for diverse cultural experiences, and the universal allure the outdoors have with people everywhere. His lifelong connection to the Pacific Northwest, combined with professional expertise and genuine love of nature bring a unique perspective to the tSB Board. Brad is dedicated to furthering tSB’s vision by applying his professional skills from both the outdoor and legal industries in a way that empowers the next generation to seek adventure, become leaders, develop lifelong friendships, and live a life rich with benefits of a connection to the outdoors.

Mikey Villanueva

Board of Directors

Learning Management System Administrator – CDK Global 
Mikey joined the tSB board in May of 2025. He’s been a supporter of the organization since 2017 as a donor and advocate. Mikey joined tSB as a volunteer snowboard instructor for the winters of 2024 and 2025. It was during these times on snow that he witnessed the life-changing impact that tSB has on the youth in our marginalized communities. The step up to join the board felt like the natural progression to contribute more to tSB’s mission of “building community through the power of youth.” Mikey has lived in Western Washington his entire life. He grew up in Olympia, moved to Seattle to attend the University of Washington, and planted roots in the Emerald City working primarily in learning and development for tech companies. He stayed homebased in the PNW to pursue his true passions—travel and snowboarding. Mikey has traveled the world to chase winter and recently shifted focus to building community in the mountains with groups like Soy Sauce Nation.

Mikey looks forward to bringing this knowledge and skill set to the Board and to continue his growth as a community builder and ambassador as a tSB board member.

Arya Nguyen
