Our Staff

Currently, we have five regions in Tennessee that have First Tee programs led by Executive Director, Shawn Maurer.

  • Greater Chattanooga: Lamar Mills, TGF Regional Director | Tim Haralson, Program Director
  • Greater Knoxville: Hayden Echols, TGF Regional Director | MJ Gonzalez, Program Director
  • Memphis: Andy Mears, TGF Regional Director | Christopher Hastings, Program Director
  • Nashville & Surrounding Counties:  Hannah Sudbury, Program Director
  • Tri-Cities: Cody Weems, TGF Regional Director | Adam Dean, Program Director

There are several management and program models used at our various affiliate locations.  The differences are based on what works best for that location. For example, the location staff delivers programs; our traveling coach provides programs in other sites.  And in some cases, it is a combination of location staff and traveling coaches that deliver programs.
