Jacob has been a part of the DANCER family since 2014. He identifies well with the organization’s values and appreciates the positive environment of DANCER. He is very family-oriented and enjoys kayaking, hiking, and being outdoors. 

Nathan chose DANCER because he deeply believes in our vision of growing young leaders who run the best small business. Born and raised in Minnesota, he came to Fort Wayne after graduating from Taylor University and has come to love the city. Outside of work, Nathan enjoys going for walks with his wife, Kelsey, and doing life with his City Church community.

Noah joined the DANCER family because he knew the atmosphere here was special and would help him grow into a skilled craftsman. He’s family-oriented and values being helpful and present for his family and friends, a trait that is shared by our team. He’s a gifted athlete and an avid sports fan. When he’s not watching the game, he’s out on the lake.

Joel began working for DANCER as a summer hire but decided to join the Team full-time in August 2016. He loves the challenging work and admires the before and after of the project process. In his free time, he enjoys hanging out at the lake, going on walks, and spending time with his two kids and wife.

Anthony loves to work hard; he also loves being in a place where the work is enjoyable and meaningful. DANCER gives him a place where he can come in, develop his skills, and get a good day’s work done. He’s willing to say YES and get everything done before turning off the lights for the night. He’s an avid video gamer, mainly focusing on first-person shooters. He also enjoys playing basketball with his siblings and friends.

Ian was looking for a vocation when he joined our team. He found a position filled with learning opportunities and challenges; we found a team member that’s always willing to lean into his discomfort and grow. In his spare time, Ian enjoys bass fishing and watching movies.

Ashton chose DANCER because of the friendly faces and great vibes. He was looking for an opportunity to learn a trade, develop his skills, and grow personally and professionally. After his trial days, he knew that this was going to be a great, but hard, place to work—that was just what he was looking for. When he’s not on-site, he’s spending time with his family, playing basketball with his friends, or playing video games with his brother, Anthony.

Ben joined the DANCER Team in September 2015. He enjoys the hands-on nature of the job and working alongside other like-minded individuals who support and care for each other.

You can find him on Sundays listening to Frank Sinatra and meal prepping for the week ahead.
