COMMANDANTS OF GATOR 990

The position of Commandant is one of responsibility and accountability.  The Commandant is tasked with being the Chairman of the Board of Trustees as well as the Chief Executive Officer of the detachment as a corporation.  In addition to management skills, a Commandant must employ leadership skills to influence and motivate both the staff and the membership to execute the missions and plans of the detachment.  Each Marine who has served as Commandant understands the weight of the position and they have our gratitude for having stepped up to serve as needed.

2024 MATT YAKUBSIN


Having served as the Junior Vice Commandant and the Senior Vice Commandant, Matt Yakubsin brings his experience to the position of Commandant.   Despite being full-time employed as a Lieutenant in the Sheriff's Office, Matt has been more active in detachment affairs in the last several years.  

He organized the 2020 Marine Corps Birthday Ball as an outdoor event at a local brewery.  He has since worked with the High Springs Brewery to organize a number of events that benefit other charities in the community.  During his time as Junior Vice Commandant and Senior Vice Commandant, he has helped bring some younger members into our detachment.
