Club Photographer
I’m Jamie Donaldson, long time resident of Georgetown, and Porsche owner since buying a 1973 914 from my Dad in 2002. As the original owner he took great care of her and I am continuing the same, joined Bluegrass Region in 2003. Since then I have also acquired a Cayman and a Cayenne, so I’m a single brand owner. This is my second term as Director, and as a retired professional photographer I will continue as Bluegrass Region photographer. Bluegrass Region members have been a welcoming group, and I actively enjoy the events and the fellowship of members.
Newsletter Editor
My name is Steve Krolak and I recently emerged from PCA hibernation and joined the BGS board as the newsletter editor. I have been a member of PCA since February 1996. Initially, my focus was high performance driving events and PCA club racing, but I have found the club provides much more than tracking. I drive a 1985 911 coupe so I have become very familiar with troubleshooting strange electrical issues in 1980s Porsches. I am an avid motorsport fan, with a primary focus on F1. My wife, Jenny, and I enjoy traveling the world and visiting our two sons who live in Boston and Seattle.
Past President
“I’m Ken Hold and the current Past President. I joined PCA in 1999 at the Southern Indiana Region. Since then I’ve been a member of the Ohio Valley Region and a Charter member in formng the Bluegrass Region in 2003. Past roles include: For Bluegrass Region I was the Charter Secretary and several term President. For National I’ve held roles of Zone 13 Representative and Chair of National Nominating Committee. I’ve also assisted the Bluegrass region in starting the Keeneland Concours d’Elegance and leading the First Saturday Cars & Coffee Events. I like playing with cars (especially Porsches) and enjoy supporting others in having fun with the club and their own cars.”
WebMaster and Historian
“Hello, I am Julie Woods. I am the club’s webmaster and historian. I have been a member of the club from the beginning and am a Charter Member. I am interested in capturing the history of our club and building the Historian’s Corner on our website. Please let me know if you have any stories/memorabilia/history of our club that you would like to share. I do share the love of beautiful cars. I remember at 15 years old sitting on the corner watching cars go by with my friend saying “I am going to get a Mercedes 380 SL”. I do have a thing for convertibles. I got my MB “280” SL from Europe when I got my first real job. Thanks to my husband, I learned how special our Porsches are and the people who drive them. I am grateful for all the special people I have met through our club. I also have a TR6 (remember, I said I had a thing for convertibles).”
PCA Zone 13 Rep
Since joining PCA in 2008, Todd has served in the Fox Valley Region as Vice President, President and Newsletter Editor from 2014-2020. National roles included RegionFocus Coordinator, member of the Audit Committee and most recently served as the National Secretary the past four years. Todd has added several more Porsches to his stable and caught the traveling bug which has taken him to many PCA events, 24 Hours of La Mans, two trips to Germany with the last one to take a European Delivery of a new Porsche 911. The experience of owning a Porsche would not be complete without being a part of the PCA. As Todd and Sheila have often said, “It’s the cars that bring everyone together, but it’s the people that make the club so special”. The PCA and Porsche bug also bit their son. Justin was a chartered member of PCA Juniors and continues as a PCA member.
Professionally, Todd founded his technology infrastructure company in 2000 with the idea of providing technology solutions and services to better suit the industry. Starting with only one employee and one customer, the company has expanded solutions and services offered to many clients across the US. In 2025 they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary. Todd has brought the experience of managing his business and employee development to bring a seasoned approach to the many different roles served within PCA and will continue with his appointment as the Zone 13 Rep.
