Denny joined YCG full time in Spring of 2020 as our on-staff handyman. He handles building maintenance and improvements; quotes, schedules, and performs handyman services for the general public, and helps wherever a hand is needed within YCG.

Jake joined YCG in February 2007 starting out as a calibration & service technician. He quickly progressed to scheduling make-up cals, service, and planning out the yearly calibration schedule. He now handles the day-to-day operations of YCG, working on R&D, and leading on-site service/repair. He fills in on cal runs when needed. Jake grew up with an interest in anything that had a motor, disassembling and reassembling everything he owned (sometimes with success!) always with an interest of how things worked. Growing up in Iowa, he worked from a young age in an automotive repair and machine shop and went to the local race track every Friday night helping on race teams. He worked on cars throughout school and after graduation before doing it full-time. Jake moved to Colorado for 3 years seeking a change and worked mostly in the retail environment. After realizing this wasn't for him, he packed up and moved back to PA to start work at YCG. Outside of work Jake still enjoys all things with a motor. If there's racing going on, he's interested. He enjoys going to Arenacross and Supercross races with his wife and daughter, spending time outdoors, riding his ATV & UTV, grilling up good food and sharing laughs with friends and family.

Jim Cowden worked for many places in the 70s and 80s many of the time multiple jobs at once, but from his youth always wanted to own his own business. The late 80s was a tough period on a personal level; it was a trying time, getting divorced and with 2 small children who were moved halfway across the country, his father passed away, and alcohol became the remedy. He met and married Marsha in 1990, both working hard and bringing together their two families. In 1992 they started a business journey with their own AMWAY business. They did well enough that Marsha could leave her job and come home as a full-time mom. In 1993 they purchased a speed-timing calibration business from lifelong friend Lou Staccone and the game was on!
