Deanne Burks

When Dane Burks sees a need, he does not wait around to see if someone else will do it. For seven years, Burks advanced through the ranks of the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, one of the biggest nonprofit fitness networks in the country, becoming Wellness Director for two centers. A frequent headache and costly expense for the Ys was equipment maintenance, servicing, and turnover. He watched as equipment sat idle for weeks waiting for repair.
