FOREMAN SPOTLIGHT: ALIRIO TEJADA

Posted by & filed under Kaley Employees.

OCTOBER 2016 — Alirio Tejada with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) Maryland division is this month’s featured sheet metal foreman.

Alirio began working for KRSM in 2005 as a sheet metal apprentice working directly under foremen, and his first project was the Remote Truck Delivery Station at Fort Detrick with Operations Manager Ernie Giancola. He is now a sheet metal foreman and is currently working on the Frederick Memorial Hospital addition composite panels with Project Manager (PM) Phil Conroy.

Alirio has a total of 20 years experience in the roofing and sheet metal industry and has worked on numerous high-profile projects during his career with Kalkreuth. One of his most memorable projects to date was the Joint Medical Logistics Center at Fort Detrick.

“Alirio is a hard-working, safety conscious, quality oriented foreman,” said PM Phil Conroy, who works with Alirio frequently. “A perfect example of his skills is the Frederick Memorial Hospital where he completed the composite panel scope of work. Gilbane (the General Contractor) said they would use him on any project moving forward because of the way he works and the quality product we provided to the owner.”

“I make sure to choose the right safety equipment for the job, inspect the equipment, and make sure it’s used for its intended purpose—that’s the first part of the job,” Alirio said. “Doing all of this allows me to do the second part of the job—metal installation—safely and productively.”

Alirio currently lives in Laurel, Maryland with his wife Angelina and his three children, Jovani (17), Marvin (15), and Maryjey (13).

We are honored to have Alirio as a member of the Kalkreuth family and appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication since he began in 2005.

KALKREUTH “RACES FOR A REASON” IN DEBBIE GREEN 5K

Posted by & filed under Community Involvement, Kaley Employees.

Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal once again served as Title Sponsor for the Debbie Green Memorial 5K Run/Walk for Leukemia in Wheeling, WV on Saturday, August 6.

Along with 1,000 other participants, nearly 70 employees, friends, and family registered for the race to represent Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal as the Title Sponsor! We were thrilled to have the biggest team in the race again this year! We are thankful to everyone who participated, especially Race Director Ron Green for organizing another great event in memory of his sister Debbie Green to benefit local families.

Debbie Green was diagnosed with Leukemia in 1970 and lost her battle in 1972. Her brother Ron, only four years old at the time, now operates this annual race for Leukemia victims and has recently opened it up to benefit families stricken with other types of childhood cancer as well. “One of the reasons I’m doing what I’m doing is to help other families get through this disease just like we did,” Ron Green said.

“The Debbie Green Memorial 5K represents a great tradition for a worthy cause in the Ohio Valley. Many have us have had cancer affect our lives in some way, whether through friends or family. The Debbie Green offers support for children battling leukemia and other childhood cancers, which is a fight we feel these children shouldn’t have to undergo alone,” said company president John Kalkreuth. “We support the Debbie Green Memorial 5K because none of us can do a lot as individuals; but when a community rallies together, we can make a difference.”
