Meet Joe Fenech, Olive Branch Family YMCA branch staff

Being physically fit and active has always been an important part of my life. As a child growing up in New York City, I played baseball in the summer and hockey during the winter months. In High School, my passion was track and field where I competed in cross country, indoor track and also pole vaulting. While in the Air Force, (1981-1985) I was a physical training leader during boot camp. I have two kids that are currently in college. For about 10 years, I coached the sports they were involved in; soccer, and HS ice hockey. Now that my children are grown, I spend much of my time leading group fitness classes here at the Millington YMCA along with Germantown and Bartlett centers. I enjoy learning new things, especially foreign languages as well as traveling to exotic places throughout the world. I have been employed by Beckman Coulter as a Sales Engineer for 20 years and have a BA degree in Psychology. Certifications include: American Heart Association CPR/AED Promise Kick Box Spin AFAA Group Fitness
