Meet The 2026 Board of Directors
The Above the Mean Triathlon Club is led by a dedicated Board of Directors who help keep our club running smoothly and our community thriving. Each board member was selected for their passion, energy, and commitment to supporting our athletes. They volunteer their time generously to plan events, manage operations, and ensure every member has a positive and rewarding experience. Our board is here for you—so if you have questions, ideas, or just want to get involved, we’d love to hear from you!

Tara Maffeo
Vice President + Marketing
Tara helped form ATM in 2024 alongside Vince Jones, and helps support all marketing and sponsorship efforts.
Tara ran cross-country growing up and took a break for many years to horseback ride competitively. After getting back into running and completing her first marathon in 2023, she was ready for the next big thing and decided to give this “triathlon thing” a go. She’s been hooked ever since!
When she’s not training with the ATM crew, she leads the store experience and operations for all US Sephora stores. If you need skincare and haircare tips to keep up with your training schedule, she’s got your back.
Tara loves how FUN the ATM group makes training, and is fortunate to have met so many fast friends. As a fairly new triathlete, she knows how intimidating the tri world can be, and how a supportive group can make all the difference.
When she’s out training, you likely won’t find her without her partner in crime, husband, and #1 competitor - Nathan. The two *might* be a little competitive (ok, a lot).

Ramy Hindiyeh
Membership Director
Ramy is ATM’s Membership Director and has been part of the club since 2025.
New to triathlons, Ramy found the sport after helping a client map out their finances for racing abroad. Ramy loves how triathlons mirror life: give steady effort, trust the plan, and celebrate the payoff when it all comes together.
With a Ph.D. in Engineering and an MBA, Ramy brings a strong background in analysis, planning, and problem-solving to the board. Before transitioning into financial advising, he ran a project management consulting firm helping large organizations solve complex problems and achieve ambitious goals.
Ramy values the sense of belonging that makes Above the Mean so special. He still remembers walking to the start line at a local race and being greeted by a sea of friendly ATM faces, a welcome change from racing alone.
When he’s not training, you’ll find him geeking out over ride data, spending time with his wife and kids in Elk Grove, or researching the next race to sign up for.
