Built by People Who
Know Private Clubs.

AshGro was founded on a simple belief: private clubs deserve a true growth partner — one that understands the culture, respects the traditions, and brings the tools and talent to move the needle on membership. We work with clubs across the U.S. and worldwide.

Meet the AshGro Founders

AshGro Membership Partners was founded by two private club industry veterans with deep experience leading membership sales for over 50 clubs nationwide. Their direct involvement is what makes AshGro a true partnership, not a vendor relationship.

AS
Adam Shamsie
Co-Founder · Atlanta, GA

Adam has spent more than a decade building and leading membership sales programs for distinguished private clubs across the country. He previously served as Vice President of Membership Sales at a leading national private club membership solutions firm, where he oversaw membership growth initiatives across a national portfolio and progressed through roles as Sales Director, Senior Sales Director, and Regional Sales Director.

Earlier in his career, Adam served as Director of Membership for prominent clubs including Hawks Ridge Golf Club, Biltmore Golf Club, and Timacuan Country Club, where he was directly responsible for membership growth, retention, and the member experience. His specialties are sales strategy, team development, and building disciplined, repeatable processes that grow membership without compromising club culture. Adam is based at AshGro's Atlanta, Georgia headquarters.

GR
Greg Rotzell
Co-Founder · Arlington, VA

Greg brings a complementary skill set built around marketing strategy, CRM implementation, and the data discipline that modern membership sales requires. He previously served as Vice President of Operations at a leading national private club membership solutions firm, where he progressed through roles including Membership Sales Director, Senior Sales Director, and Vice President of Membership Sales.

Greg's career began in professional sports sales with the Tiger Woods Foundation and the Travelers Championship, where he built the discipline around prospect outreach, organization, and customer service that he has carried forward into private clubs. At AshGro, he leads the technology, marketing, and analytics that sit underneath every engagement, making sure no lead falls through the cracks and that every club partner has clear visibility into pipeline performance. Greg is based at AshGro's Arlington, Virginia office.
