Rob English Joins the St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire Board

The Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire is proud to welcome Rob English to the Board of Directors!

Rob, alongside his wife Maxi, has been an enthusiastic and reliable volunteer for the Parade and Faire for the past three years. Since 2022, Rob has played a vital role as a technology manager and gate support, ensuring everything from digital systems to entrance logistics runs smoothly on event day. His calm presence, technical know-how, and ability to troubleshoot on the fly have made him a go-to leader among our volunteer team.

Whether he’s helping manage entry points or supporting our team with tech setup and operations, Rob brings a sense of reliability and professionalism that helps keep the chaos of a major event like the Parade & Faire running with precision.

Rob’s dedication to Irish culture and community spirit is evident in everything he does. His decision to step into a board position is a natural progression of his ongoing commitment, and we’re excited to welcome his insight, experience, and leadership to the team.

“It’s been such a joy to volunteer with the Parade and Faire these past few years,” Rob shared. “Being part of this incredible team and celebration has given Maxi and me a deeper connection to the Irish community here in Phoenix. I’m honored to join the board and help carry on this great tradition.”

We’re grateful for all the work Rob and Maxi have done — and continue to do — to make the St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire a joyful, welcoming, and well-run celebration for all.

Please join us in congratulating Rob on this well-deserved new role!
