Testimonials & Success Stories

"Wheeling has been the place I called home for all twenty-four years of my life. I attended West Virginia University for four quick years to earn an Industrial Engineering degree and returned to the valley full time to work on my Masters in Business from Wheeling Jesuit University.

"As I started my master's degree, I was in search of a career. Being raised in the country, I was always a hands-on person and that is how I developed an interest in the construction industry. I accepted a position with Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal Inc. as a project manager where I was rewarded with the opportunity of managing the new Major League Baseball Stadium in Washington, DC.

"This was an incredible opportunity at such a young age to be in charge of such a large amount of money. The job was a success as it was completed on schedule and on budget. As I watched President Bush throw out the first pitch I reverted back to my childhood memories at Patterson Field telling myself that I was going to be somebody. The person I was thinking of becoming did not turn out to be the next Ryan Zimmerman, however I will always be able to tell my kids that I helped build the ballpark he is playing in.

"I attribute all my success to the quality of education that we deliver in the valley and the family values that have been instilled in me by my parents. Wheeling has many opportunities for young aspiring professionals like myself to make a future and call the place where we grew up, HOME."
