2025 Wellness Guidebook

MEET OUR STAFF

Onifer Wilmoth, Director of Wellness I am thrilled to re-join the Cullasaja Club team for the 2025 season! Wellness has been my passion for many years. Like so many, it began early in life with a love of sport. Having participated in many sports as a child, I have been able to transfer that love into a career. As Wellness Director, I am excited to lead a team of dedicated health professionals to best serve the Club membership. In addition to leading the Wellness team, I am also a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor of 23 years. I have proudly called Western North Carolina home since 1999, when I moved to Cullowhee, NC to pursue my Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration degrees. My wife, Meagan, and I have been married for 16 years, and have two wonderful daughters, Carmen and Ansley. When I’m away from the office, I love to spend time outdoors fishing, playing croquet, riding ATV’s, and watching college football.
