About Our Team

Jeri Miuccio is The Guru of Guest Experiences and your Go To Goddess for making your experience at Quailwood Greens as exceptional as the gorgeous scenery that surrounds it. Not only is she the Supermom to two very active kids and an adventurer herself, Jeri is also a world class multi-tasker and Jill of All Trades, with life experience as a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City of San Diego (20 years), bartender, chef, server, property manager, and the Founder of the Girls Empowerment Camp, which trains young women for a career in the Fire Service. Jeri was also honored as San Diego Reader’s Woman of the Year in 2019 for her leadership and her contributions to making San Diego a great place to work and play. Jeri is now a happy Clarkdale local, and she and her husband, Brian, own and run “Wingin it Ranch”, which is the riverside home to over 160 animals. When not running the Quailwood Greens galaxy, Jeri is also the Executive Director of the 501c3 Project Athena Foundation, which helps Survivors live an adventurous dream as part of their recovery.

Robyn Benincasa and Jeff Akens are both retired San Diego Firefighters who are thrilled to share their “happy place” with you. When they’re not dreaming about upgrades for your guest experience at Quailwood Greens Golf Course or The Quailwood Kitchen and Tap House, they’re on their other favorite mission, helping Survivors of medical or traumatic setbacks live an adventurous dream as part of their recovery through their 501c3 non profit, The Project Athena Foundation (2014 CNN Heroes!). Between leading and crewing for Project Athena adventures, Robyn and Jeff are on the road inspiring Fortune 1000 companies, associations, and user groups to Adapt Overcome and Win as One through their corporate team-building and leadership keynotes, based upon Robyn and her teammates’ experiences in winning what the Discovery Channel calls “The Toughest Races on Earth”, The EcoChallenge and The Raid Gauloises.

Meet "Valentine" (aka Bubbles)

Jeff and Robyn’s next life adventure will be to start an animal sanctuary for any and all creatures that need a loving forever home. The working name for the sanctuary is Valentine Ranch, in honor of the love of their life, a part Chinese Crested hairy hairless rescue mutt who showed them what unconditional love means. They can’t wait to pay that love forward to the next furry, winged, feathered critter that comes their way.

“Project Athena isn’t about getting back to what you were, its about embracing the very best of who you are, right now, and showing the world that you’re never defined by your setback, you’re defined by your comeback!” - Robyn Benincasa
