Alicia King
Walnut Creek YMCA
Associate Exec. Director
Over the past several years, I have taken on various positions within the YMCA of Greater Des Moines. I currently serve as the Associate Executive Director at the Walnut Creek YMCA. In this role, I get to see the impact the YMCA has on the lives of each and every one of our members. Whether it is completing fitness goals, meeting new friends, or learning a new skill the YMCA is for all. Outside of the YMCA, I love spending time with my family and being involved in our community. We love attending events and trying local parks in our area! There is so much to offer!

Aaron Gobert
Garage Force of Des Moines LLC
Owner
In July of 2023, I moved here with my wife and daughter from Texas to start Garage Force of Des Moines. Since then, we've become entrenched in the Urbandale area. We live here, go to church here and run our business from here. We didn't know anything about Urbandale when we moved here but it has exceeded our expectations and we are thankful this is where we landed.
