Employee Spotlight On Danny!

Danny Altland Employee Spotlight

Young’s Mechanical is proud to feature Daniel Altland as our employee spotlight! Danny has been with Young’s Mechanical since the company was founded and is a supervisor of one of our sheet metal crews.  I asked Danny to share a few things about himself and why he chooses to be a part of the YMS team.  Danny shared that some of his greatest accomplishments are the quality of work and the owners having the trust in him to do what he does. He also has learned more about things outside of his trade labor by working in a smaller company.  He feels this additional knowledge helps him be a better asset to the company and to the other team members.  The reason he decided to work for YMS was because of the owners.  Danny feels as though he is treated as a value to company rather than just a number.  When asked what he liked most about the environment and culture of Young’s Mechanical, his answer was trust!  In Danny’s spare time, he enjoys spending time with his new grandsons and a fun fact about Danny is that Robert E. Lee was his great uncle x5!  Danny also shared that ‘good values’ is what he would say to describe the mission of Young’s Mechanical.

Thank you, Danny, for your hard work each day!  We are blessed to have you as part of our family!!

Honoring a Legacy: Golf Tournament Supports the Kyle Puffenberger Memorial Scholarship

At Young’s Mechanical Solutions, we believe in standing by our team—and our community—through everything. Recently, members of our YMS crew participated in a local golf tournament with a special purpose: raising funds for the Kyle Puffenberger Memorial Scholarship.

This cause is close to our hearts. Kyle was the brother of one of our employees. To honor his legacy, the community created a scholarship fund in his name. Each year, the scholarship is awarded to an outstanding athlete from Pendleton County High School—someone who embodies the determination, sportsmanship, and spirit that Kyle was known for.

We’re proud to support this effort and to celebrate Kyle’s life by helping future athletes chase their dreams. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the organizers, participants, and supporters who made the tournament a success.

At YMS, community isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we show up for.
