Lancer Alumni Association Leadership Meet our Officers
Developing Leaders at CCS
Alumni Association President Justin Salemy ’05 is a Lancer for Life, attending CCS (previously called Seminole Presbyterian) since elementary school. Here he forged strong friendships that have stood the test of time, still best friends with fellow classmate Kyle Kefauver ’05. Justin had a passion for sports and found his calling for basketball under the tutelage of Coach Baker Mabry, who also graduated from Cambridge. Justin stayed local and graduated from the University of Tampa with a degree in
finance. He followed his father’s footsteps into the financial services industry as an Associate Wealth Management Advisor with Northwestern Mutual here in Tampa. He continues to follow his passion for basketball as the Head Middle School Basketball Coach at Carrollwood Day School. For the past 18 years, Justin has been playing basketball every Saturday morning here at Cambridge Christian School, as part of the “Weekend Warriors” group. This group is a supporter of our basketball programs by helping us purchase shoes, gear, and supplies every year. As President, Justin hopes to create awareness for what Cambridge Christian is doing, host quarterly alumni events, establish a pro-business and networking atmosphere in Upper School, and inspire alumni to get involved and give back. Justin became involved with the Lancer Alumni Association because of the special memories of his time at Cambridge. “All the relationships with teachers, students, coaches, and faculty had a major impact on my life. I believe a lot of graduates feel the same way I do and want to be involved with Cambridge.”
Vice President Eryn (Van Valkenburg) Zeller ’06 is delighted to be back home in Tampa, surrounded by the Lancer community. Upon graduating from Cambridge Christian, Eryn continued her studies at the University of Tampa, where she earned a B.A. in Communications with a minor in Spanish. After finishing studies at UT in 2010, Eryn found a job in the pharmaceutical industry in Dallas, Texas where she and her husband Philip lived
until late 2018. In addition to her work in the pharmaceutical industry, Eryn designs flower arrangements for events around the Tampa Bay area under her moniker Eryn Zeller Floral Designs (IG: @eryn_zeller_floral_designs). On the weekends you may find Eryn at Tampa Yacht Club with her horse, Cruiser, spending time with her family, or fishing in the back of her South Tampa home with her husband, Phil, and golden retriever, Bailey. Eryn decided to get involved with the Cambridge Christian Alumni Board when she returned to Tampa last year, seeing this as an opportunity to give back to the
