My name is Dr. Clarissa Adams. I have been married to my husband Rick for 11 years, and we have two children, Alessandra (9) and Ricky (7). We also have two dogs, Rosie and Bruno. I have been part of Paterson Public School District since 2004 as a PE teacher, and for the past 11 years, as the PE and Health Supervisor. I spent every summer and weekend of my childhood at our family home on Bryn Mawr Ave in Lavallette until they sold in 2010. I have always loved the beach and this island.
Anna Fiore
Over the past 30 years, I have been fortunate enough to be a homeowner at the Jersey Shore in Ocean Beach 2. My husband served for 13 years as a board member and now I have had the pleasure of serving the community for the past 3 years as Special Events Coordinator. I am a full-time realtor and moved to Ocean Beach on a permanent basis 5 years ago. I enjoy all the seasons not just the summers, our daughter was fortunate enough to spend her summers here and made many friends throughout the years. Watching the generations continue to want homes of their own and raise their families is what makes Ocean Beach 2 so special!

Michael Mercurio
Mike Mercurio has been actively engaged in the Life Sciences sector for more than 20 years, leading large-scale IT strategy and business transformation programs for various top Fortune 500 companies. He currently serves as the VP of Client Services at C&F, a global technology services company specializing in data and cloud solutions for regulated industries. Mike has been happily married to his wife Sue for over 30 years, and both successfully raised their three grown children (two sons and a daughter) in their home in northwestern New Jersey. Although a relatively recent OB2 homeowner, his ties to OB2 go back to the 1980’s when he was first introduced to OB2 by Sue and her family who spent just about every summer at Ocean Beach, first as renters and then as eventual home owners. What really sold Mike on OB2 back then and now was a sense of a true “community”. The respect, consideration, and care that people show for their neighbors makes this a very special place. Preserving that sense of community and focus on family fun serve as the guiding principles for Mike in his role as a board member.
