Kyle Czekalski
Vice President
I have been in the Architectural Specialty business since 2003. After obtaining my degree in Mechanical Design, I knew that my personality and passion for dealing directly with people would take my career in a slightly different direction. I was fortunate to get an opportunity doing takeoffs, quotes, shop drawings, and order writing for a manufacturer in the industry. After a year of working internally, my burgeoning relationships with our independent sales force led to my greatest opportunity. Bruce Michelich of Architectural Materials, Inc in Frisco, TX offered me a position with him to help grow his business. I took the opportunity, and turned it into the very platform that I rely on as professional, and as a person. I was taught the inner workings of the business, and how to conduct it with honesty and integrity. I spent the better part of the next eight years working with AMi developing the business, and myself professionally.
My close-knit ties with my family, home, and hobbies eventually caused me to return back to Northern Wisconsin, where I was born and raised. As an avid outdoorsman, fisherman, and sports enthusiast, I knew that this would be the best long term move going forward. I knew that I had to utilize both my talents, and experience in the industry to forge a network that would help solve design concepts in an ever evolving industry. In doing so I was again fortunate to have the opportunity to team up with two of the very best companies in the Midwest.
