Unique conversations
Andy Kim is President of EVS Engineering.
The "Equity in Energy" event adopted its keynote address' title "Beyond Ordinary" as its theme. A panel discussion among four diverse subcontractor leaders was inspiring as well. The CEO of Trice Construction, the Presidents of APC Construction and EVS, and the Business Development Director of Blaze Contracting all brought unique perspectives on how they and similar companies nationwide can take on increasing roles in the energy transformation.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: Talk about the story behind EVS Engineering and it being a family business.
Andy Kim: It's a family business, and my father is our chairman. My mother is now retired, but she was the bookkeeper and accounting manager for twenty years.
You could say I joined forty years ago because I was the cleaner. I would go in on the weekends and clean the office, but I joined full time twenty years ago after college.
At that time, we were about twenty-five people, and all we did was civil engineering for armed forces, some local commercial work, and some highway design. But my father had the vision to realize that, if we want to grow, we had to do something beyond that.
