Mr. Alex Diaz, is the Community Recreation Director at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). In this capacity he directs a vast variety of Recreation programs throughout the three installations that make up NBVC: Port Hueneme, Point Mugu, and San Nicolas Island. Prior positions at NBVC include MWR Site Manager at San Nicolas Island (2020-2022), Youth Sports & Fitness Coordinator (2017-2018), Recreation Assistant/Programmer (2016-2017), and Child & Youth Programs Assistant (2015-2016).
From January, 2022-March, 2023, Mr. Diaz served as the Recreation Manager for the City of Roswell, NM. In this role he managed the city’s recreation division by guiding staff to think strategically and to recognize their worth as top recreation professionals in the industry. Fostering relationships with external organizations, other city departments, and community leaders was the key for ensuring that the vision of city council could be executed.
Prior to government service, Mr. Diaz held several positions at non-profits and educational institutions. Some positions include: camp counselor, program assistant, and Director of Sports and Youth Programs at the Ventura Family YMCA; Program Staff at the Oak View Boys and Girls Club; Duty Monitor at Sunset Elementary School; and AVID Tutor at Rio Mesa High School.
Mr. Diaz, holds a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from California Lutheran University. He has also been a First Aid/CPR Instructor since 2016, a Certified Youth Sports Administrator since 2017, and a Certified Park and Recreation Professional since 2022.
Mr. Diaz believes that the time that we spend in our positions is limited and eventually someone will take our place in the organization. With this in mind, it is important that we do everything in our power to make the programs and communities that we serve better for those that come after us.
In his spare time, Alex Diaz coaches and referees soccer and enjoys spending time with his family-specifically his nieces and nephews.
