Derek Mordica
Mordica began working at the Southern Boone YMCA last month and has already been an asset to Director Kip Batye.
“He has come in and been a great fit,” Batye said, “Derek will work hard and tackle anything we need him to work on.”
It’s good that Mordica is described as “hands-on” and a “multi-tool player” kind of employee, because his work portfolio will include everything from fitness to karate to….any program provided by the YMCA.
“We don’t have a fitness instructor right now,” Mordica said recently, “so I am working with that. But I will also be working to maintain other programs as well as future programs we might offer.”
Mordica graduated from Southern Boone in 2006 and after a few semesters in college, went to the Air Force. After serving in Montana, Korea and Whiteman, Mordica was looking to stay closer to home.
