Amy Hanacek is originally from Tucson, Arizona where she attended the University of Arizona concentrating in Business and Public Administration. Amy moved to Southern California in her early 20's and continued her business studies transitioning into positions with DeLorean Motor Company and Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America. Entrepreneurs by nature, Amy and her future husband David became one of the first pioneers in the custom closet industry and have since launched several other successful small businesses both together and separately.

As a non native, Amy is extremely appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to live along the beautiful Southern California coast. She and her husband have owned property in the Capistrano Beach area for over 30 years. They are the proud parents of two sons, both graduates from San Clemente High School:their oldest a recent UC San Diego graduate and youngest an incoming Cal Poly Freshman. Both sons have exemplified her passion for the ocean by pursuing swimming and water polo and becoming California State Lifeguards.

Amy has shown her commitment to her son's schools through countless hours of volunteerism both inside and outside of the classroom. She has cherished her time as a room parent, Carnival Chair, Library aide, High School PTSA President, and was a strong+and possibly loudest+supporter of SCHS Aquatics. She is passionate about her community supporting local aquatics clubs and the Junior Lifeguard programs while enjoying the local beach trails with her dog, Amber.

Amy is committed to enhancing the strength of our schools and the health and welfare of our communities.
