Joe Freville
Cubmaster and Arrow of Light Den Leader
Joe Freville joined Pack 68 in Fall of 2018. He has been involved with the Scouting program since the 1st grade. As a youth, he was a member of Pack 886 and Troop 886 out of Sheboygan Falls, as part of the Bay Lakes Council. He earned his Arrow of Light, Parvuli Dei and Ad Altare Die religious awards, and at age 13, his Eagle Scout. He held numerous positions within the Troop, attended and served as staff for the Junior Leadership Training program, and served six years on Camp Staff at Camp Rokilio. He was active in the Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s honor society, where he served as Lodge Secretary, Lodge Chief and Section Vice Chief. He earned the Order of the Arrow’s Vigil Honor and Founders Award. As an Adult Scouter, he has served as Section CVC Advisor in the Order of the Arrow and currently serves as Cubmaster and Webelos II Den Leader for Pack 68. When he is not Scouting, Joe helps with his son Conor’s Baseball and Soccer teams, and various events at Orchard Lane, such as High Interest Day. He has served in various Alumni Leadership roles with his fraternity. Professionally, Joe is a Senior Client Operations Specialist at Insight, where he has worked for over 16 years.
Emily Brezinsky
Pack Committee Chair, Communications Chair, and New Member Chair
It was only a matter of time before Emily took on a leadership role with Pack 68. In September 2020, Emily accepted the position of New Member Chair. Bubbly and friendly, Emily loves to help new scouts feel welcome within the pack and to make sure all new family members feel supported and seen. Emily also serves Pack 68 as Committee Chair and Communications Chair. Since childhood, she has been passionate about writing – even teaching Advanced Composition before leaving the professional world – and she takes pride in a perfectly crafted story, anecdote, or handwritten correspondence. Outside of Pack 68, she is entering her second year as the PFC Co-President at Orchard Lane Elementary. When she gets a spare minute, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband and their four children, Wyatt, Flynn, Crosby, and Waverly; hiking; having an uninterrupted cup of coffee; and cheering for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Leah Reimer
Chartered Org Representative
Leah joined the leadership team in 2022. A devoted and caring person, Leah jumps in wherever she is needed to lend her time and talents. Pack 68 has been able to run its programming partially because of Leah’s hard work as Fundraising Chair. When her son crossed over into Scouts BSA, Leah transitioned into a new role with Pack 68, Chartered Org Rep. As a member of the Orchard Lane PFC Executive Board, Leah was a natural choice to fill the Chartered Org position. When she isn’t keeping all these organizations afloat, Leah can be found up north with her husband, Brian, and their son, Levi. Catch them hiking, biking, or taking out their ATV’s. And if Leah needs a little quiet time, she may steal a moment or two to crochet something beautiful.
Andy Brezinsky
Bear Den Leader
Andy’s journey with Pack 68 began like so many others’ — as a parent tagging along to meetings with his oldest son, Wyatt. Wyatt joined the pack as a Tiger in 2019, and Andy quickly became an active parent volunteer in the den. The whole time, Andy’s younger kids were watching from the sidelines waiting for their turns to be Cub Scouts. Come September 2020, Andy’s second son, Flynn, was a Lion Scout whose den needed a leader. From then on, Andy has been a passionate member of the Pack 68 leadership team. Beyond his responsibilities as a den leader, Andy has taken the lead on our annual Pinewood Derby. This event perfectly aligns with Andy’s scouting skills and his personal hobbies of woodworking, engineering, and technology. A father of four, Andy and his boys are ready to welcome his third son, Crosby, to the pack in Fall 2023.
Shawn Foran
Wolf Den Leader
Shawn Foran became involved with Pack 68 in 2021 once his son became old enough to join the Lion Den. The following year, Shawn took on the role of Tiger Den leader to help guide the den on their journey of scouting. Shawn was in Cub Scouts throughout elementary school on Long Island New York. His family relocated to Brookfield, Wisconsin in 1993, and he continued Scouting here. He joined Troop 56 in Brookfield affiliated with Dixon Elementary School, completed Pine Tree leadership training and earned his Eagle Award in 2000. Some of his hobbies include Fishing, Golfing, Hiking and Biking. Shawn works as a Senior Manager of Internal Audit for CVS Health supporting the Aetna portfolio of businesses.
David Ziesemer
Tiger Den Leader
David is entering his second year on the leadership team. He became a leader right away when his son, Michael, was a Lion. Since joining Pack 68, David’s favorite scouting memory is serving as color guard for the Milwaukee Milkmen – stepping on the field and holding the flag while a stadium of fans sings the anthem is powerful, for sure. David grew up in Ann Arbor, MI, but he was looking for a change and eventually made his way to Wisconsin. An avid sports fan, David’s heart is still with the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers, but he has become a Milwaukee Bucks fan.
Brianna Hawthorne
Lion Den Leader
The newest member to the team, but not at all new to Scouting, Brianna is beginning the 2023-2024 school year as the Lion Den leader welcoming out youngest scouts to the world of Cub Scouts. Growing up, Brianna was a Girl Scout all through grade school at New Berlin Center – a school since replaced with Ronald Reagan Elementary. As a mom, she began attending Pack 68 meetings with her oldest son, Jeremiah, and his Tiger Den. When it came time for her younger son, Josiah, to enter Kindergarten, Brianna took the opportunity to become his den leader. Professionally, Brianna works two jobs: one as a secretary and one serving New Berlin with the Veterans Memorial Society. In her spare time, Brianna likes spending time in Lake Mills, going to the beach, and exploring area bike trails with her boys.
Jess Perkins
Awards Chair
Jess has spent her life living in New Berlin and making the community a better place. A graduate of New Berlin West, Jess, and her husband – an Ike alum! – chose their hometown as the place to raise their family. Three kids later, Jess and Al are pros at balancing soccer, baseball, basketball, Cub Scouts, music lessons, school, and more, all while taking on active roles in their kids’ activities. Jess’ natural kindness, warmth, and joy make her the perfect fit for the Pack 68 leadership team. There is nobody better suited to celebrate our scouts’ achievements as Awards chair. Outside of juggling life leading a family of five, Jess is able to sneak in some soccer and up north time when she’s able to find a few moments to take a break.
