Board Member Spotlight: Jonathan Shell

Jonathan Shell is CASA of Lexington's newest board member, providing representation from Garrard County. His first CASA board meeting was in April.

CASA: How did you first learn about CASA of Lexington?

Shell: My wife Brooke and I have been involved over the years doing what we can to help kids in need and supporting families who step up to care for Kentucky’s kids. That’s why CASA caught my eye. 

CASA: Why do you serve as a CASA of Lexington board member?

Shell: CASA is doing work that is making a tangible difference in the life of kids. I’m proud to be a part of that effort. 

CASA: Tell us about your work/career.

Shell: I’m spending most of my time at “the office,” which is either my tractor in the field or in our family’s green houses. 

CASA: What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Shell: Spending that time with my kids. My two boys are into video games and also baseball right now. I love watching my two girls dance. If I can find time I like getting in a good workout, too. 

CASA: What would you like to say to CASA of Lexington's volunteers?

Shell: Their work is changing lives and this entire region appreciates their work.
