BE RETROFIT - Key Persons
At B|E Retrofit: Ed is the Co-Founder and Director of Operations. Ed is responsible for hiring and training all field personnel, monitoring on-site project production and communications, and installation efficiency.
Background: I was educated as an accountant and so, not surprisingly, many people have called me a ˜walking spreadsheet. ™ My financial background, combined with a lifetime of construction experience and industry relationships assured a fast start for our young venture. It ™s been very gratifying watching my son succeed and working with all these young, optimistic people. Training has been fun, but the best reward for the effort is that the staff I have trained is now better than their trainer. Their determination and will to exceed expectations has added a very special dimension to BER for me.
Family: Ed resides in Wellesley with his wife of 42 years and lives for the barbeques with his wife, daughter, son and dog Lucy.
Job Titles:
- Co - Founder, President and Director of Project Design
At B|E Retrofit: Kevin is the Co-Founder, President and Director of Project Design. Kevin is responsible for company strategy, business development, building assessments, communicating with partner project developers, writing reports and any other task that may be required on a given day.
Background: I grew up wearing a tool belt during summers working as a laborer on crews for my father ™s business. Through these experiences I developed a love for buildings, construction and working with my hands. After graduating from Williams College, I spent 2.5 years in the financial services industry, but found a passion in conversations with Ed about starting a new venture together. For over a year we talked, planned and studied and then in 2010 we founded B|E Retrofit together.
Family: Kevin lives in Charlestown, MA with his wife, but is still a regular visitor with his older sister, Kim, at his parents ™ house.
You can see that Ed and Kevin love what they do. Whether they are producing reports or working on an installation, they do everything well.
