Hello Redwood Pal Golden Bears Family! We’re excited to introduce Chris Perez as the new President of our beloved Redwood Pal Golden Bears. Chris is a true embodiment of leadership and community spirit. A proud graduate of Piner High School, he began his coaching journey with us in 2002. After a brief hiatus to establish a successful electrical business and dedicate time to his family, Chris is back to inspire and lead our young athletes.
As a father of four boys and one daughter, and husband to the most amazing team mom Kellie Perez, Chris has always been a pillar in the Sonoma County youth community. His commitment to giving back is evident through his active roles with the Conservation Corp for Kids, The 100 Black Men of Sonoma County and Board member of the North Bay Black Chamber, not to mention his involvement in numerous local coalitions.
Chris’s unique blend of humor, dedication, and passion for youth development makes him a perfect fit for our organization. His vision for the Golden Bears is not just about football; it’s about nurturing the next generation of leaders. If you’re at the field, don’t miss the chance to meet Chris. His infectious laughter and
genuine care for the community are sure to leave a lasting impression. Off the field, he enjoys working out, camping, and creating cherished memories with family and friends.
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Chris Perez, a one-of-a-kind leader ready to guide the Redwood Pal Golden Bears to new heights!
