FOREMAN SPOTLIGHT: CHRIS CECCHINI

This month’s featured foreman is Chris Cecchini with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) West Virginia division.

Chris began working for KRSM as a sheet metal worker in 1995, and his first project was Crestview High School in Colombiana, Ohio. He is currently working on the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis with Project Manager Kyle Beaver.

Chris has 28 years of experience and has worked on many high-profile projects. He mentioned Thomas Jefferson, CMU 5th and Clyde, WVU Hospital, and Vogtle as some of his most memorable projects. “Kalkreuth has been my second home for 28 years and has allowed me to be a part of many successful and neat projects.”

Chris lives in Wellsburg, WV, with his wife Kim, son Antonio, stepdaughter Ella, and dogs Jaws and Dutton. When he’s not working with sheet metal, Chris loves spending time with his family, horseback riding, and doing charity work.

We are proud to have Chris as a member of the Kalkreuth family and appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication since 1995.

MORE AWARDS

Jeff Piazza nominated Kelby Ferrell for MORE Teamwork, Safety, and Effort.

“Kelby spent several months working long days and many weekends to provide full-time safety for the men and women that worked on FORD KTP this year, allowing us to successfully and safely complete a 3 million dollar coating project in 3 months. Kelby never wavered once in the face of the site’s super strict needs while still supporting back on his other active sites and office responsibilities.”

Thank you, Kelby! We appreciate you and your dedication to Kalkreuth’s safety!
