Thax Winston, Building Maintenance Manager
I take pride in working at Agudas Achim, and also take pride in assisting our congregants. I’m always willing to lend a helping hand to the congregants both inside and outside of the shul.

Arguably the strongest person on the Agudas Achim Staff, though Nancy is catching up. Has a nice calendar collection.
