Meet our Team & what impacts their commitment to Kartchner
“When I look over our list of 8 values, I naturally lean towards fun and gratitude in my personal life and look for opportunities to integrate into my professional life. Lately I have been focused on the value of excellence at work as I have realized how the quality of our work ripples through the design process, construction process, and the life of the building. Excellence gives personal satisfaction, but it also improves the lives of those who build our mechanical systems and brings more comfort, and lower utility bills for those who live in the building for generations.”
