Cody Kelly

Friends of Stark Parks Trustee
Cody is an Operations Manager at Lincoln Manufacturing where he oversees the operations and accounting functions of the business. Cody received a Bachelors in Business from the University of Akron in 2016 and a Masters of Business from the University of Southern Indiana.
Cody joined Friends as a way to give back and help build on the future of the parks. With a background in business and accounting, his goal is to apply these skills helping the board achieve and promote goals for growth, promotion, and sustainability.
Cody has spent most of his time on the Sippo Valley Trail because it is a convenient spot for his Sunday afternoon runs. He hopes to spend more time hiking, biking, and running on more parks and trails.
