Ray Niblett
Head Custodian
Email
Ray joined the FPC staff shortly after his wife Libby started working as the Sunday childcare/custodian. He brings 20 years of experience in both factory work and military service. Though not originally from Findlay, he has lived here since 2003 and chose to stay because it has always felt like a safe place to live. The thing I like the most about working here at FPC is the very low level of stress. At least compared to my previous jobs.
