Spring is upon us and with it comes new beginnings.
Our family here at Blackwater Designer Concrete has undergone some pivotal changes, one of which includes our friend and colleague, Chris Graham, heading into retirement.
Chris’s retirement is our loss, but a well-deserved respite for him. We wish him and his family well and continued success in whatever venture comes his way. He will be greatly missed.
We are pleased to announce and welcome Danny Kimmel, P.E. to the Blackwater family as our new Director of Sales.
Danny began working for his father’s residential construction and poured concrete wall companies at a young age (at his request!) in the summer time. As the youngest child of four, he wanted to quickly learn everything about construction to keep us with his two older brothers. The hands-on experience greatly helped, and Danny’s desire to become as well-rounded as possible in construction influenced him to attend WVU’s School of Engineering, where he graduated in 2007 with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. Upon graduating, he worked for an engineering firm that focused mainly on commercial construction and became a Professional Engineer in 2013.
In 2014, Danny came full-circle back to the residential side, and worked for nearly three years as a Construction Manager in building homes, where he became familiar with Blackwater Concrete. Truly, the best part of the job was helping people turn their dream home into reality.
Throughout the years, Danny built one house from the ground up in his “free time” in 2008-2009, and in 2014 he and his wife Erika, took on a major fixer-upper home. His family continues to grow, as their oldest son, born in 2015, got a little brother shortly after Christmas in 2016. The family dog, Arya, keeps getting more play buddies.
Danny grew up in Frederick County, Virginia, and knows the surrounding areas very well. His free time is enjoyed with his family, watching WVU sports, exercising and occasionally hunting and fishing. Growing up, he played baseball and football, but his favorite sport was wrestling. The most important things in Danny’s life are his family, his faith and his career.
In preparation for this upcoming year, the Blackwater team is staying on top of current trends in decorative concrete. Along with our attendance at the 2017 World of Concrete Show, we have also added new products to the Blackwater line up!
If you aren’t familiar with The World of Concrete Show, it’s the industry’s only annual international event dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries.
During the event, the WOC showcases leading industry suppliers featuring innovative products, construction machinery, construction equipment, safety training courses and new technologies.
We are very excited to bring fresh ideas back to our clients and will be featuring many new products such as step liners, antique wood planks, other stamps, overlays (SureBroom) and epoxies. Stay tuned!
