This month’s featured sheet metal foreman is Mike Cross, aka Carney, with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s Ohio division.

Mike began working for KRSM as a sheet metal worker in 1996, and his first project was the Hilton Columbus at Easton in Columbus, Ohio. “My foreman was Brian Blacker, who has taught me a lot. How to run work, read prints, and get jobs done in a timely manner. Chuck King was superintendent then.” Mike is currently working on the Columbus Topiary Park with Project Manager Stephen Coyle. He also mentioned Pat Hurley, “Pat has been very good to work with, and thanks for dealing with me.”

Mike lives in Crooksville with his wife of 32 years, Andrea. He has three children and nine grandchildren who keep him on his toes, but he wouldn’t have it any other way. Mike loves to ride his Harley and sell food from his concession stands in his spare time. “It’s been a good company to work for and taught me a lot. I have worked with a lot of good guys on jobs and in the office, so let’s keep up the good work, everyone!”

We are proud to have Mike as a member of the Kalkreuth family and appreciate his hard work and dedication since he began 27 years ago.

Jaret Lear and his son participated in the Maryland State Police Polar Bear Plunge on February 4th in support of Special Olympics! They braved the cold in honor of Jaret’s great Uncle Pikey, who used to participate in the Special Olympics years ago. Jaret’s team, Plunge for Pikey, raised $512!

This month’s MORE Award recipient is Allee Ambrose! Ernie Giancola nominated Allee for MORE Enthusiasm, Effort, and Teamwork.

“Her efforts don’t go unnoticed as she embraces a young production team to ensure that billings always get out on time, even during the most challenging times working with challenging GCs.”

Thank you, Allee, for everything you do!

Francisco Osorio with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) Maryland division is this month’s featured foreman.

He is currently working on the Phlow Pharmaceutical Company in Richmond, VA.

Francisco has 17 years of experience in the roofing and sheet metal industry and has worked on several high-profile projects during his time with Kalkreuth. He noted some memorable projects, including George Mason High School in Falls Church, VA.

“I like the people I work with every day in the field and office. Kalkreuth always finds work for me.”
