Ken Wiseman
2021 / 2022 Piru Neighborhood Council - President
Ken Wiseman, Chief Workforce Development Officer, AMS Fulfillment.
Ken is a well-known figure in and around the SCV community, known for the work that he has done not only to develop the workforce at AMS Fulfillment, but also for the extensive volunteering that he has done while guiding AMS as its CEO. Ken has been a resident of Piru for 10 years.
Ken is an 18-year volunteer with the SCV Sheriff’s Search & Rescue Team, recently retired after 10-years as President of the SCV Sheriff’s Foundation, is a Board Member and former Chair of the SCV Mayor’s Committee for the Employment of Individuals with Disabilities, and is a board member of the SCV Economic Development Corporation Board. In 2017, Ken was named Most Influential Businessman of the year in Santa Clarita by The Signal Newspaper, and he was also volunteer of the year for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff Station.
Starting his career as a teacher, Ken made the jump into business. Parallel to his career growth in business and attainment of an MBA from the University of Hartford, Ken also set world records in ultra-triathlon events. As time went on, Ken directed his passion toward many other challenges.
In making the decision to retire as AMS CEO and take on the position of Chief Workforce Development Officer, Ken once again followed his passion. He stated, “My professional time will be more focused on the myriad of employment hiring and training programs we are doing with the County, State and various agencies to continue to provide employment opportunities to those struggling to enter, or re-enter the workforce.”
Ken regularly speaks to school and business groups about workforce development, and the power of visualization. Ken’s better half, AMS President Betty-Lou Wiseman, has been with him throughout almost 40 years of professional endeavors and to this day helps him deliver on every commitment. Both their boys, Justin and Eric, are also active in Operations Management at AMS.

Judy Daley Lovett, Legal Assistant and a DFPI Applications Specialist .
Judy Daley Lovett moved to Piru with her husband in 2018. Judy works in Westlake Village as a Legal Assistant and a DFPI Applications Specialist at a Real Estate/Escrow law firm. Judy loves living in Piru and is looking forward to helping the community grow and prosper while staying the same awesome place it is now.
Judy’s favorite things about Piru are the beautiful views, the avocado groves, the trail with the beautiful mural that walks past Phil’s Animals (because she loves to look at the animals and the chickens), the beautiful Catholic church grounds with the church bells, the friendly people at the Post Office, the wonderful neighbors she has met and eating at Brenda’s.
But her most favorite thing of all about Piru is when the roosters really get going and make such a racket, because that just makes her giggle and giggle and it never gets old.
