A!er gradu- ating from Gonzaga University, Mick moved downtown with friend Alex Korbonits, who reintroduced him to the Club. Mick joined in 2012, in part to participate with the Masters Swim Team, an activity he still does today. As the property manager of Union Square, Mick enjoys the luxury of working across the street from the WAC. "is ease of access—and the fact that many of his tenants are members—made the decision to join even more advantageous to his health and career. "It's a casual environment that allows for close networking," he says. "I love belonging to the Club. "e WAC can be whatever you make it!" Brad Brevet As a lifelong basketball player, Brad Brevet was excited to learn about the 8th Floor gym during one of his early visits to the WAC as a guest of his friend Tim Wang. Brad joined in 2016. Since then, he has made it a habit to play noon ball about three times a week and has played in the A and Masters in-house leagues as well as on the 35-and-over team that represented the WAC at last spring's national club tournament in Las Vegas. In addition to basketball, Brad likes to use the weight room, swim in the pool, and enjoy dinner or happy hour at the Club. He is also looking forward to bringing his young son to more of the WAC's family-oriented events. "Everyone is so open and inviting," Brad says. "Two of the people I introduced to the Club have already joined the basketball league, and everyone knows each other's names. It's a nice environment."
