OUR CURRENT OFFICERS:
President: Christie Lopez (Huly)
Email:
PFUFA Class: 2012
Team: Washington Redskins
Elected: August 5, 2022
Bio: I am a Washington Redskins Fan Captain and organizer of the Extremeskins tailgate and charity events. I have supported multiple charities throughout the years but I am an avid supporter of Abby’s Army and Lonely Hearts Animal Rescue. I was inducted into PFUFA as the Class of 2012 Washington Redskins. I have served as Treasurer from 2015-2022 and I have assisted the J Babe charity committee. I am the 2021 Jason Carlson Beardown J Courage Award recipient.

Vice President: Stephan Timchula (Major Offense)
Email:
PFUFA Class: 2015
Team: Baltimore Ravens
Elected: August 5, 2022
Bio: After twelve years with no NFL football in Baltimore, I became a Ravens Season Ticket Holder/PSL Owner and began the journey as a serious fan of the game and the team. In 2004 I obtained a Chevy Van and turned it Purple and Black with Bells and Whistles to use for Tailgating and advertising my passion. It was 2008, when the Ravens made a serious move at QB and RB to beef up the Offense that I adopted "Captain Offense"; at the urging of my Tailgate group and to fill in the other side of the Line from the Defense. In 2011, as the Ravens were establishing yearly visits to the Playoffs, at the urging of another PFUFA Member, it was suggested that the Ravens needed a "Major Offense" and the character was promoted. My biggest enjoyment from developing the Offense Persona has been the interactions with people that I would not have met without the sport and the passion that we share. The highlight of this experience is being a member of the Pro Football Ultimate Fan Association; since I am able to interact with people from across the world who mirror my passion and believe in Sportsmanship, Fandom and Charitable contributions. We try to use our Persona to help others and to assist those who make that their goal.
