Kevin Seymour
Supervisory Committee Nominee
Member since: 11-28-2001
My daily gig: I have been with Parker Helac in Enumclaw since 2005 as a Team Lead/Machinist. Prior to working at Parker Helac, I spent 10 years working in manufacturing for the aerospace industry.
How I spend my down time: I enjoy spending time working in my yard. Last summer I completed a multi-year project on the backyard and this year I’m working on a garden for the first time with my 6-year-old granddaughter. I enjoy spending time with my wife and granddaughters. My wife and I have 5 adult children and 8 grandchildren and we have a trip planned in April to meet our newest grandson in Texas. Sundays, my wife and I attend church building friendships and growing our relationship with God.
Why are you volunteering: I always think about numbers and money. I think this is a unique experience to learn more about the financial system, meet new people and hopefully represent the members of the Credit Union in a positive way.

Why are you volunteering: I’ve been a member of WRCU for a long time. I’ve observed their positive growth over the years and I’d like to contribute to future growth as more than just a member. I’ve always wanted to do something positive for the community and serving on the board would help towards achieving that goal.
