Meet The Team

Danielle founded Vero Beach Neighborhood (VBN) in 2017. Filling a much needed space, she was able to combine the deep seated care and neighborly climate of Vero with the demand for internet based interactions. Not knowing the impact that VBN would have on the community she is forever grateful to be
in the position that she is in, helping people, fundraising, and supporting people and business.

Danielle makes it her mission that people feel cared for and know that they are not alone. She says "I am happy to help others and share the love of Jesus with them". Danielle is a firm believer that "...to whom much is given, from him much will be required." (Luke 12:48)".

It's evident that the VBN team means a lot to Danielle. "My whole team uses their own money to help fund events, help others with food and necessities. I've never seen anything like it!" She is grateful for the people around her who share her vision for helping the community and encouraging respectful dialogue both online and in person.

Danielle lives in Vero with her husband Joe, and their 2 adult children.

Sophia Wynkoop is the daughter of Danielle Wynkoop. She has been roped into this due to her living situation being is too close proximity to that of her mother's. Sophia gives freely of her time to help with VBN events, monitor the page, and also field messages. She is a wonderful addition to the team!

Mike is the owner and operator of Amazing Interior Painting. He would like everyone to know that "I wanted nothing to do with being an Admin...and now I am on the website?". Mike's humor is recognizable on VBN, from his coining of the phrase "Black racer, very friendly" to his ongoing war with a local berm-ed neighborhood.

In addition to running his business, he spends his free time moderating the VBN group page. Mike utilizes his own funds to help the community members throughout the year. The hours spent is innumerable and invaluable. Mike lives in Vero with his wife Shannon, and 2 sons.

Rachel McNamara has been a moderator for VBN since 2020. She and her husband Mike moved to Vero full time in 2017 from the St Louis area after spending several winters here. Rachel is a former teacher and school administrator and her husband is a retired police officer. They have four children, 3 in St Louis and 1 in Dallas. They also have 2 Australian Shepard siblings that keep them constantly busy!

Rachel enjoys everything the Florida lifestyle has to offer: swimming, hiking, boating, paddle boarding, golf and just enjoying being outside and active. She also has a love for books and travel and a passion for learning.

Helping with VBN has given her the opportunity to meet so many wonderful members of our community and to form some great new friendships.
