STAFF SPOTLIGHT

Ken Loveland

Ken joined the YMCA Maintenance staff in October of 2010. In a little over a year, Ken has been involved with many of the large and small projects and repairs around the Y. According to Randy Bryant, the Y’s Facilities and Wellness Director,” If it needs fixed or fabricated, Ken is the guy I turn to. He can do it all!” Many of the Y’s members use Ken’s expertise as a resource for questions regarding their home do-it-yourself projects. “I’m always happy to help,” says Ken.

Ken wanted to work at the Y as a way to be involved with an organization that felt like family. He also enjoys interacting with all of the children at the Y. “ The kids have so much energy and are always asking about the different projects I am working on. It’s one of the great things about working here.” Ken notes that his favorite Y moment was the first summer he worked at the Y and put the riding lawn mower in the Mason Run which runs along the Y’s property.

Ken is a motorcycle enthusiast who rides at least once a month all year long. He is planning a trip to Florida on his Harley this summer.  He and his wife, Sue, have two grown sons and four grandchildren.
