Our Team

Rick worked for a carpet cleaning company while in High School in the early 1970s and took on the company owner’s clientele when he decided to exit the business. At about the same time (1974) he branched out into commercial cleaning services, caring for all duties including sales, administration, and labor. Rick and Debbie VanderKoy were married in 1977, she then joined the company and together they grew the company by selectively pursuing accounts that fit the business model they had worked out, and more importantly by retaining current customers. Debbie’s profile appears below.

Rick continues to be active in sales, customer service, administration, and enjoys visiting buildings while the cleaning staff is working as well as visiting with customers during business hours. He is always available to customers and employees via cell phone or e-mail.

Debbie currently works as the office manager. Since we do all accounting and bookkeeping internally there is much to do, but this allows Secure Clean to keep costs under control. She is also involved in discussions regarding the direction of the company and other major business decisions.

Ryan worked for the company in the early 2000s, doing front line cleaning and financial consulting, and continued thereafter to be a great source of advice. He came on board permanently around 2014 in his current capacity. Ryan is a great asset in deciding on the overall direction of the company and in determining exactly where we are financially both as a company and with each individual client, which has enabled Secure Clean to keep prices as low as possible while at the same time remaining profitable. All matters involving taxes and government regulations also come under his purview.

Ashley started in March of 2007 and is responsible for all accounting activities including payables and receivables, bi-weekly payroll, and record keeping. She also updates the telephone timekeeping system, tracks employee attendance and quality issues, and based on this data monitors the employee bonus incentive system. Other duties include assembling SDS books, keeping HR records up to date, etc.

Juvenal started as a floor tech in November of 1999 and was soon doing carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and other project work. He has over the years done nightly janitorial work in many facilities as well and showed himself to be a self-starter and a leader. He was gradually promoted to trainer and supervisor, then in July 2008 to Operations Manager, overseeing all areas operations for the company, which is a large responsibility. Juvenal is mentoring Carlos, our other operations manager. He oversees the Area Supervisors, cares, along with the supervisors, for the occasional disciplinary process and other personnel issues, oversees new account start-ups, and communicates with customers. He has become an indispensable member of our management team.

Carlos started as a nightly cleaning tech in April 2011, after quickly showing initiative and a pro-active attitude toward customer satisfaction was promoted to Area Supervisor in September 2012. He took the initiative to speak with clients about customer service issues and requests for additional work, etc., and proved his ability to manage people. In July 2019 Carlos was promoted to Operations Manager and he works under Juvenal’s direction to oversee supervisors and cares for most of the same responsibilities that Juvenal cares for.

Yolanda was hired in June of 2020 as a cleaner. Since April, 2006 she has been an Area Supervisor, overseeing several building sites and workers. All supervisors are responsible for training, inspecting using our proprietary Secure Clean Assurance system, re-training as needed, and overseeing the workers in their buildings. Nancy walks the fine line of balancing friendliness, treating all workers respectfully, while also giving them direction and discipline as needed.

Izela started working as a nightly cleaner November of 2018. Since April, 2026 she has worked as an Area Supervisor, and has been conscientiously and effectively overseeing some of our largest clients. Izela is a person who can be counted on the make sure the job is done in a timely fashion and done right.

Imelda was hired as a cleaning tech in October 2021 and quickly showed initiative and the ability to work with and oversee others. She was promoted to Trainer in June 2022. Then in October 2022, when a position opened, Imelda was promoted to Supervisor. She can often be seen at all hours of the day and night driving in her company van from site to site, and she does a great job of keeping her personnel and the buildings under her supervision in good shape.

Maria was hired in February, 2018 and very soon showed a willingness to take ownership of the buildings she was cleaning. When we needed more supervisors in February, 2022 she was promoted, trained to care for the various aspects of the job, and has done very well in all areas of her responsibilities.

Erica started as a cleaning tech May of 2021 and Operations management quickly took note of er sense of responsibility and her investment in our company culture. She was groomed gradually to take on more responsibility and was promoted to Supervisor in May of 2023. Erica is a fantastic asset to Secure Clean and reports, as do all supervisors, to the Operations managers.

Ana Lilia was hired as a cleaner in January, 2020 and excelled in every way. As we expanded further into her area it made sense to have a supervisor for that area for better coverage and oversight, so in August, 2024 Ana Lilia was promoted and trained to care for the responsibilities involved. She is a fast learner and is doing a great job of managing people and maintaining top notch quality control.
