Welcoming our New Facilities Manager

We are excited to welcome Don Duce as our new part time facilities manager. Don comes to us with a lot of experience, he has been the head engineer for commercial buildings and has a side business as a handyman at a condominium complex. Don lives in Leesburg VA and has been married for 32 years with two children. On the weekends he enjoys car shows with his 1965 Mustang and is a fan of West Virginia University.  Don will be here usually in the mornings and his email is facilties@trintiyarlington.org.

 

Staff Updates (with corrected emails)

Don is taking over part of Mike Swineford’s old responsibilities as the facilities manager. He will be in charge of the facilities and grounds as well as the building rentals. Courtney has taken over the other part of Mike’s job, the bills/payroll, as well as keeping the current communications role. Her email will now be office@trinityarlington.org and her current email communications@trintyarlington.org will be slowly phased out.
