JIM

A life-long member of the YMCA, Jim, is active in our community as well as in our facility! For many years, he has commuted between Chicago, IL and Fontana, WI. In Chicago, he is a Managing Director at Wells Fargo and when he escapes to Wisconsin, he is also a volunteer for the Fontana Fire Department. For almost ten years, Jim has been on active duty with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary where he performs search and rescues, vessel inspections and supports other Coast Guard missions. To keep up with his busy lifestyle, Jim keeps in shape by routinely visiting the Geneva Lakes Family YMCA. He finds a healthy, relaxing workout in our lap pool and another “family” that is ready to greet him on each arrival! When asked about the value of the YMCA, Jim explains he can easily sum that up in three ways:

1) what the YMCA stands for

2) the people

3) the facility.

With roots that date back to 1883, the YMCA has a mission to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Community is our cause and we work side-by-side with our neighbors to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive. Jim finds the people that surround him to be very enjoyable and the facility to provide great value. With his aqua experience and knowledge of the area Jim admits that “…the YMCA has the best pool in the area!”

We are thrilled that Jim is part of our Geneva Lakes Family YMCA. It is our goal to continue to provide him and other members and guests positive experiences at the Y! We encourage others to explore all the YMCA has to offer!
