2024 Board
President
Teri Sulser
I fell in love with Mustangs when Sonny and Cher were given a pair - far too many years ago. Now my daily driver is a 2014 California Special - and I love it!!! My husband and I joined the club to meet new friends and have fun with our cars. He drives a 2017 GT 6 speed. My son John drives a 2017 Eco-Boost. We're a Mustang Family.
Vice President
Paul Gammerino
My first introduction to the Orange County Mustang Club (OCMC) came in 2009 when as the owner of
Mustangs & Fast Fords OC, I first became a club sponsor. My first introduction to the Mustang hobby came in 1992 when my lovely bride Michele (OCMC Treasurer) gave me a 1964 ½ coupe as a wedding present.
I spent the next 10+ years meticulously restoring that car to Mustang Club of America (MCA) “Concours
Trailered” standards. Since then we have enjoyed taking that car all over the country competing in MCA
events. After earning 10 Concours Trailered Gold Awards, the car was graduated into the Conservator
Class where we still compete today.
To me, the OCMC is a lot of great people, doing great things that involve great cars. My goal as your
Vice President is that every club member feels the exact same way. Looking forward to seeing you at a
meeting, a show, a cruise, or an event very soon.
Treasurer
Michele Gammerino
I have been a "Mustang Girl" literally since inception. In the Fall of 1964, Mom and Dad purchased a brand new 1965 Mustang Coupe in Silver Blue. Shortly thereafter, they sold it for a "more practical car" when she found out she was pregnant with me. When I was a teenager, Mom and Dad bought a 1964 1/2 Mustang Coupe in Vintage Burgundy that my husband and I still have today. It has been restored to compete in the Mustang Club of America Concours Trailered Class, and that car continues to compete in the Conservator Class.
In addition to that Mustang, my husband and I have several others including a 1965 Convertible in Ivy Green and 1965 Fastback in Poppy Red. My daily driver is a 2017 Mustang GT in Oxford White.
Since 2009, my husband and I own and operate Mustangs & Fast Fords OC, a repair, restoration, restomod, and parts sales facility in Santa Ana. We are active members of OCMC, MCA, and MOCC.
Secretary
Anna Avila
One of the top things on my bucket list was to one day own a Mustang (or a Harley. No, I don’t know
how to ride a motorcycle but was willing to learn-also on my bucket list). In October 2023, I said to
myself “YOLO” and headed to the Ford dealership with every intent to buy a 2024 Mustang in gun metal
gray. But when I got to the dealership and saw the Rapid Red Metallic beauty sitting there, it was like
LOVE at first sight! I had to make her mine! And I did! Let me tell you, BEST PURCHASE EVER!!
Shortly after, I found the OC Mustang Club and continued my “YOLO” voyage. The Club Members are such an amazing group of people as such they welcomed me with open arms. I quickly found myself
volunteering for anything I could and joined all the events. I am now happily the Club’s Secretary.
When I am not cruising around looking pretty in my Mustang, you can find me at Disneyland with
popcorn in one hand and a churro in the other.
Event Coordinator
Robert Hammond
I joined OCMC about 2 years ago after 10 years in another socal mustang club. I enjoy coordinating events for club members. The coming year should be another good year with lots of events planned. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts and ideas. Be safe and healthy and together we will enjoy our Mustangs and other club members.

Club Items & Apparel
Lourdes Cruz
Mustangs are the hottest car on the road, bar none. when you drive a Mustang, everyone sees (and hears) you are coming. My 2021 Mach1 draws attention even before you see it. Love the excitement of the drive and I enjoy the comradery from fellow enthusiasts. I'm a Ford girl!
Sergeant At Arms
Janice Jacques
I joined the OC Mustang Club in 2016 when I purchased "Ruby", a 2016 Convertible. I was the newsletter editor for 4 years and enjoy helping the club when I can. I am currently serving as Sargent of Arms and I am the one that tells you to "shhhhhhhhh" when it gets a little noisy in the General Meetings (I love my job)...
Executive Advisor
Shawnn Palmer
Shortly after joining the club in 2021, I wanted to use my skills to make a contribution to the clubs continued success. I started by volunteering at events and am now excited to be serving the membership as a board member since 2023.
In my spare time, when not spending time at OCMC events and meetings, I love to relax, hang out with family, cook, bake, bowl, go to sporting events or amusement parks.
Social Media Coordinator
John Daniels
I have been a huge mustang fan for as long as I can remember. Ken Block, who had a 1965 mustang fastback and was a professional rally driver with Hoonigan, inspired me to become involved in the sport of drifting.
I have been a member of the orange county mustang club since 2018 and currently drive a 2017 eco-boost, premium mustang.
