We have seen him for a long time as executive director of the Fishers YMCA, and now Jake Reardon McSoley will be seen regularly around the city’s municipal complex.  The city announced Friday morning that Reardon McSoley will be leaving his post at the YMCA and serve as Director of Recreation and Wellness for the city.

“My administration has been very focused on growing our business community, diversifying our tax base, and creating a sustainable economy for the last several years,” remarked Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “We’re looking ahead to the next chapter of Fishers and my vision centers around building a culture of health within our city – one that embraces recreation, wellbeing, and wellness. Jake’s longstanding leadership in Fishers lays a perfect foundation for these efforts and I’m excited to continue to move Fishers forward with his experience.”

Reardon McSoley will have the position of a department head within the city organization chart and will report directly to Mayor Fadness.

“There is something special about serving the Fishers community, a place that my own family calls home,” said Reardon McSoley. “In this new role, I have the chance to expand my purview and serve many of the same individuals in a way I hope to be more impactful,” said Reardon McSoley. “I can’t wait to reconnect with residents in this new capacity as we build a culture of health and strengthen the community to further drive Fishers’ vibrancy.”

His wife Jennifer was an unsuccessful candidate for Hamilton Southeastern School Board in the 2018 election.  Their family has resided in Fishers for 16 years.
