Brett Krumenacker, Vice President of Construction
Brett Krumenacker is the son of a plumber who owned a small family business. He grew up working in the trade on weekends, holidays, and summers from the time he was a young teen. When Brett was seventeen years old, his father was hospitalized due to a bad fall. He arranged to leave high school early each day so that he could keep the family business running. Brett graduated from high school that year while working five afternoons per week and every weekend. His father recovered and returned to operate the business after eight months.
Brett earned his A.A.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Nassau Community College followed by a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and Education from Oswego State University.
After graduating from college, Brett took a position as an Industrial Arts teacher with the Plainedge School District in New York State. During his tenure as an educator, Brett continued to work holidays and summers in the plumbing trade.
While studying vocational education in graduate school at City College of New York in the evenings, Brett was able to use his trade experience to gain a certification in the field of construction with an emphasis on plumbing. Brett maintains this certification to this day.
While teaching, Brett started a vocational work-study program for the school district and he took over operations of the family business due to his father’s retirement. Brett operated KPH Mechanical for five years before selling the business to one of his employees and moving to Cape Coral, Florida. KPH Mechanical is still in operation to this day.
Brett became a state certified Master Plumber (License CFC048268) in Florida in 1989. He started, owned, and successfully operated KPI Plumbing in Cape Coral, Florida until 1995 when he moved to Tampa and joined the staff of Suojanen Enterprises. Brett started with the firm as a field supervisor; and for the past three years he has held the position of Vice President of Construction.

His people skills and management style have helped to mold Suojanen Enterprises, Inc into one of the most well respected companies in the Tampa Bay area.
