Explorers Staff

Melissa Mohr

melissa@mohrs-explorers.com

Melissa helped Mike launch Mohr's Explorers and has led New York-based, after-school acting and adventure programs since 2000. She is also a certified Holistic Health Counselor and passionately runs her own business, REVOLUTION WELLNESS.

Mara Lileas

mara@mohrs-explorers.com

An Ohio native (like Mike!), Mara has had many outdoor adventures camping, hiking and canoeing. She recently earned her theater degree at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and was on hiatus while concentrating on that -- but she's back!

Nina Wray

nina@mohrs-explorers.com

"Jersey Girl" Nina has been a Mohr's Explorers instructor since the fall of 2006 and loves that her day job involves playing and exploring in Central Park. Nina received a B.A. in theatre from Temple University and is working towards a career in acting. She plans to play herself in Mohr's Explorers: The Movie.

Drew Vanderburg

drew@mohrs-explorers.com

Drew is a huge fan of mother nature! This is why, as a kid, he climbed all of the mountains and sailed all of the oceans (well, almost all of them). He still thinks he's a big kid, despite the beard. When the sun sets, Drew goes into theaters all over NYC and makes fake sun. He also sings and plays clarinet and piano!

Justin Anselmi

justin@mohrs-explorers.com

Justin grew up in Kansas chasing his imagination across the fields and through the trees. He has probably climbed every tree there is to climb in Kansas (though it's pretty flat, so there aren't many!) He is a working actor in NYC and still enjoys the fruits of nature in the park when he isn't pretending to be someone else. He's a fearless Explorer to boot.

Dominick Magnotta

dominick@mohrs-explorers.com

Born and raised in Queens, New York, Dominick has spent his life exploring this city's landscape, from the buildings to the trees. He is very excited to be spending his days with children growing up in the same city he did. He holds two Bachelor's Degrees from Queens College and currently plays drums with multiple groups in New York.

Lily Balsen

lily@mohrs-explorers.com

Lily hails from the rolling hills of upstate NY, where she spent her childhood imagining herself as a wood elf and eating peas straight from her garden. Now, as a big-city kid, she's very grateful to have found a job where she gets to play and explore with awesome kids in the park. She attended Middlebury College and is pursuing a career in acting.
