McLean is our Sales Representative of Membership Development. A native of West Virginia, he transplanted himself to the Queen City after landing a job performing in Live Entertainment at Kings Island. As he continued to grow into a professional role there, his knack for connecting with people encouraged him to pursue a career that would allow him to maintain those connections and be in the know of all the amazing things slated to happen in the Cincinnati region. Through leadership and management roles in fast-paced fields such as sales, guest services, and operations, he brings an understanding of what teams and businesses need to grow and thrive. McLean loves to say: “Cincinnati became home before I realized I was ready to call it home, which is why I say Cincinnati chose me versus me choosing it.”
