May 2017 – James Seibert with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal’s (KRSM) Wheeling division is this month’s featured sheet metal foreman.
Although James began working in the industry 19 years ago, he started with Kalkreuth in December of 2011. Hired on as a foreman by Bob Gardner, retired KRSM project manager, James’ first project was at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Once the project was completed, he was then assigned a transmission plant in Baltimore, Maryland along with Chuck King, sheet metal foreman.
James recalled two memorable projects during his time with KRSM, Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia because it involved copper and the Hamburg YMCA in Lexington, Kentucky because the overall design of the building was unique.
James is currently a sheet metal foreman and works most frequently with Jeff Piazza, KRSM Kentucky division manager. He is now working on the science building at Northern Kentucky University. Last month, OSHA made a surprise visit to the job site where he and his crew passed their safety inspection. James always strives to monitor safety hazards, soon to be expired equipment and has routine check-ins with safety personnel.
“I take pride in my work and that’s what I teach my guys. I was extremely lucky to be trained by some of the best in my field. I have so much respect for Kevin Barnhart, Kenny Norman, Chris Norman, and James Holton. I give credit to them for everything I know,” says James.
Living in Paxton, Illinois, James is married to Shannon and has three children, Shawn (25), Roxanna (20), and Shadow (18). We are proud to have James as a member of the Kalkreuth family, and we appreciate his continuous hard work and dedication to each and every job. Keep up the good work James!
