New Member Spotlights

Scott + Anna Zhu

Carl + Stephanie White Carl and Stephanie White, lifelong Californians, are avid wing shooters and active members of a duck club in Gustine, about a 2.5-hour drive south. With limited shooting opportunities in Marin and Sonoma, they are eager to join Wing & Barrel to keep their skills sharp and connect with like-minded enthusiasts. Their 16-year-old son is also an avid hunter, and they see this as a fantastic opportunity to share their passion for shooting. Their 14-year-old daughter is interested in starting to hunt, and the ranch’s proximity provides a great opportunity for her to try it out. Carl hunts with their 4-year- old Boykin Spaniel, and they are excited about the opportunity to access professional boarding and refresher training. Additionally, they look forward to enjoying Wing & Barrel’s renowned food and wine programs, offering them the chance to explore the best of the region’s wines. Carl and Stephanie are excited to become part of the Wing & Barrel community and share these experiences with their family.

Dan + Kathy Boas

Jonathan + Signy Wade

Scott Zhu and his family relocated to Tiburon from Miami about a year ago and have been thoroughly enjoying the change. Scott, his wife Anna, their two sons, Parker and Teddy (both avid young anglers), and their dog, Bear, are always out exploring the natural beauty of the Bay Area. Whether it’s hiking local trails or spending weekends in Sonoma, the Zhu family embraces the outdoors together. Professionally, Scott co-leads healthcare private equity investing for H.I.G. Capital’s upper middle market fund. Outside of work, he stays active by biking, hiking, and playing golf. He also enjoys relaxing with a good cigar and a glass of wine. The Zhu family is excited to immerse themselves further into the sporting lifestyle, particularly honing their fly fishing skills. They are looking forward to becoming part of the Wing & Barrel Ranch community, where they can refine their techniques, make new friends, and enjoy all the amazing experiences the Ranch has to offer.

Dan Boas is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area and has lived here for most of his life. After graduating from Chico State, he began working at Decker Electric in San Francisco, where he has remained ever since. Dan and his wife, Kathy, have two daughters, Kendall (23) and Brooke (21). One works alongside him at Decker, and the other is studying at CU Boulder. In his free time, Dan enjoys golfing, mountain biking, hiking, and traveling with Kathy whenever possible. He’s also an avid skier and has visited many of the top resorts across the U.S. This winter, Dan and his family are excited to head to the French Alps for a skiing adventure. Dan first heard about Wing & Barrel through two of his closest friends, who attended charity events at the ranch. Kathy visited the club a few months ago and gave high praise, further fueling Dan’s interest in becoming a member. He looks forward to the opportunity to join Wing & Barrel and become an active part of the community.

Jonathan’s journey is one of entrepreneurial success and a passion for the sporting lifestyle. In 1999, Jonathan founded Battea, a financial services company he grew until his full exit this September. His move to Barcelona in 2016 introduced him to fellow member Charlie Baxter, who invited him to our clay circuit. One visit was all it took— Jonathan was captivated. An avid traveler, he takes annual trips to Hungary and Eastern Europe for wing and driven game shoots and is eager to hone his skills with guidance from our exceptional staff. Jonathan brings his German Shepherd, a loyal protection animal, to the club for training and camaraderie, and he’s especially excited for bird hunts with our talented dogs this season. His late father, a lifelong member of the Armed Services, instilled in him a love for shooting, a passion he’s eager to share with his daughter during sessions at the Ranch.
