Randy and his wife Darlena reside in St. Peters, MO where he has been a driver for ITN since 2013. Prior to moving to St. Peters in 2013, Randy lived in Florissant, MO where he served on the Disability Awareness Commission. They have 3 children and 9 grandchildren and also serve as foster parents for the Humane Society of Missouri. Randy’s father was diagnosed with MS at the age of 65 and because of this; he was able to see how the lack of mobility affected not only his father, but the entire family. Randy enjoys all the clients of ITN and believes that the service that is provided makes a difference in the quality of their lives. Randy’s favorite saying is that “Every day is a good day that ends with the letter Y.”
Tray Jacobs began his job at ITNGateway in December 2019 and describes himself as “a professional who maintains a flair for multitasking and fostering positive relations with stakeholders.” His background in nonprofit work has afforded him a host of opportunities in relationship management, budget management, team building and supervision, all of which should be helpful as he transitions into the ED role following Susan Kallash-Bailey’s move to ITNAmerica.
Tray was born in the South Central area of Los Angeles, CA. He says that in dealing with many of the area’s issues both in his home as well as in school, he found safety and comfort within the YMCA. With the YMCA as a driving force for education and other opportunities outside of his community, Tray became a leader within his community, ultimately being elected Youth Governor of the State of California.
Then, as a YMCA professional, he worked extensively for years on community based programming, stakeholder development and involvement and financial development. He has been responsible for the creation, development, expansion, and evaluation of struggling YMCA (and other nonprofit) programs around the country.
Tray comes to ITNGateway hoping to enhance communication of the mission of both ITNAmerica and ITNGateway, thus allowing both organizations to thrive. Trayvond is a team player who he says “works cheerfully and effectively, understanding the only path forward is doing so as a team.” His plans for ITNGateway include working with riders to enhance the ride experience and to honor the hard work the volunteers do day in and day out and grow their numbers.
