Board of Director Nominees

Brian Bowling

My wife of 20 years, Katie and I are proud members of Woodbridge. We have two sons, Brian II and Matthew. Katie and I grew up in Rio Vista and I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to visit, play and experience Woodbridge as a guest since 1996. In 2019, we moved to Acampo and by 2020 we were accepted as full proprietary members. Over the past 4 years, after home and work, Woodbridge is the place I’m most likely to be found.

After graduating from Rio Vista High School in 1998, I attended California State University, Sacramento. Upon completion of college, I moved home and started working in the auto industry where I spent the next 6+ years working as Director of Finance for Rio Vista Ford Dodge Chrysler Jeep. In 2009, I changed career paths and entered in to casino management where I’ve been for the past 15+ years. Currently, as General Manager of Parkwest Casino Lodi, I’m lucky to have a wonderful team around me and great community support.

Being a very active member I believe I get to see firsthand what renovations might be best to both attract new membership and improve the experience for existing members. Since joining, I’ve seen positive improvements in many aspects of the Club, including the golf courses, food and beverage, gym, tennis courts and swimming pool. I’ve served on the handicap committee, tournament committee and the House & Social Committee. Attention to detail and an ability to solicit positive feedback for change have always been a priority of mine. I believe serving on the board would be another opportunity to help serve our membership in a positive way.

Thank you for your consideration as a potential member of the Board of Directors. I would bring a wide-ranging skill set developed during 20+ years of managerial and administrative experiences in businesses that deal with a wide range of cultures and backgrounds. I look forward to serving on behalf of our membership.

Dan Grauman - Incumbent

My name is Dan Grauman and I’ve been a member of Woodbridge for a total of 7 years. I currently serve on the Woodbridge Board and co-chair the Golf & Greens Committee. I’m the former chair of the Membership Committee.

I have been a police officer for almost 20 years. I spent 18 years with the Stockton Police Department and now I currently work for the Elk Grove Police Department. I have a 13-year-old daughter named Violet who loves to golf. My girlfriend Karen has two boys, Mason and Reid. Mason is involved with the Operation 36 program and my daughter just started the same program.

We love being members at Woodbridge and use all of the amenities the Club has to offer. I am seeking a second term on the Board of Directors for Woodbridge. Thank you.

Greg Kozlowski - Incumbent

My wife Kimberly and I have been members for more than 7 years. Kimverly is a Lodi native whom I met 12 years ago for which we have been married for 10 years. I have been in the furniture industry for 5 years now for which I am an Operations Manager with Williams-Sonoma. We love all the amenities the Club has to offer and have met lots of friends and acquaintances through the Club. I am looking forward to serving the General Membership for another three years keeping the continuity of a wonderful Board of Directors in the best interests of the Club/Members.

Tore Maggio

I grew up in Lodi, attended and graduated from San Jose State University and completed post graduate work at the University of Kentucky. I worked in the Bay Area, Italy, Scotland and Orange County for more than 20 years in financial management positions of fast-growing companies, turnaround companies and Fortune 500 companies. Later I returned to Lodi to provide financial consulting services for local companies.

I first joined WGCC in 1990, left for Orange County in 2000 and rejoined WGCC in 2004. I joined the Finance Committee in 2006, was a member of the Board of Directors in 2008 through 2014 and the Board’s President in 2011. During this time, the Board focused on creating a place for the entire family to enjoy. Following my term on the Board, I was a member of the Long-term Planning Committee until it was disbanded.

This year I rejoined the Finance Committee as a first step in becoming active in the Club again. My partner, Donna Aarons, is also active in the Club as the Captain of the women’s nine-hole club (49ers). Today I’m throwing my hat into the ring to rejoin the WGCC Board of Directors once again. I feel with my past professional experience and my experiences at WGCC, I can help the Board move forward into the future and address some of the issues at hand.

Laura Reeves - Incumbent

I grew up in Petaluma, moved to the Central Valley in 1975 after high school and entered the medical field. I have worked in the medical field for 49 years managing physician’s offices, which has given me experience in servicing and managing people. In my current role as bookkeeper, I work with numbers and bank accounts.

Woodbridge has been a large part of my family’s life. My husband, Steve, and I have two sons, Bradley and Robert. We have enjoyed watching them grow up at our Club utilizing the Junior Golf Program, summer camps and all that Woodbridge has to offer.

I am currently a member of the 9-hole and 18-hole Ladies Golf groups, Co-Captain of the 18-Hole Ladies and past Co-Chair of the Ladies Invitational. For the Boad, I am chairing the Centennial Committee and have been instrumental in the planning of those events this year. I have also participated in the House & Social Committee.

I have enjoyed my three years on the Board and believe I have the people skills to communicate with my fellow Board and the membership. I want to continue to make Woodbridge a great place for golfers, families and friends to come together.

Thank you for this opportunity to serve on the Board. I am excited for the chance to represent the membership for another three years, should you choose to re-elect me.

Geoff Peterson

Originally from San Diego, I met my wife (a Lodi native) during college and moved to the area 30 years ago. We have raised three children here who are currently in college and who have been active in the community, and the Club as lifeguards, swimming instructors and/or coaches. I’m the principal of a financial planning firm providing services to individuals and businesses locally. I am an early morning swimmer and enjoy playing golf at every opportunity. I’ve had the pleasure of working on the Membership Committee for the Club over the last 4 years and have enjoyed the opportunity to serve. Thank you.
