Board Member Biographies

Susan Alspach 

I am a lifelong resident of Wellington and have always enjoyed living in a small, relatively safe and friendly town which has much to offer. I think that Main Street Wellington has helped us become more aware of the advantages of living here.  I am very pleased to have been asked to become a board member of this organization.  I look forward to working with these young board members who are interested in promoting Wellington as a great place to live or just visit.

David Arcuri
“I graduated from Oberlin High School in 1992. I have lived in Wellington for 20 years and  married to my wife Sherry for 18 years. We have 3 children ages 24, 21, and 18. We have five grandchildren. We also have a dog named Jack. Sherry is the Vocal director at Wellington. We enjoy travelling, spending time together, and music among other things. I am a co-owner of Scent Depot. I want nothing more than to see Wellington be a go to destination for the surrounding area and beyond. I want Wellington to be where everyone wants to be: both residents and businesses. I am currently President of the Wellington Choral Boosters, but am rather new to community enrichment and planning but I am looking forward to being an integral part of Wellington’s future.”

Paige Landes

“My family has always lived in Wellington.  I’ve been working at my family’s business, King Realty for 8 years, and as a realtor for 6 years. I love being a realtor because it allows me to build relationships with people and help  them achieve their goals. Being a part of a small business in town shows me how much Main Street Wellington does for local businesses and the community. I have volunteered for Main Street events over the years but am really excited to have the opportunity to contribute more of my time to promoting Wellington.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family & friends, kayaking, practicing yoga, and taking my dog, Mr. Tubbs for hikes.”

Hello, I’m Anthony Savage.  I grew up in the Fireland’s school district but moved to Wellington in 2015 after marrying my beautiful wife, Ariana. I work at the Trent Insurance Group here in town, am a youth pastor, church trustee and council member at Kipton Community Church.  I also co-coordinate The Game Changers, a non-profit group that provides positive Christian-based support and activities for older teens and young adults.

​I’d like to help bridge the gap between our community members and the history of the village by working hard to achieve a positive balance where we can help revitalize the town and make it relevant to the modern era in which we live. My goal is to preserve the charm and character of Wellington's history while aiding in events and projects that bring new life to our area. I enjoy all that our fine village has to offer and want to help see to its sustainable future.
