William “Bill” Kennedy

Kevin McKlin

Service Roofing Specialist

U.S. Marine Corps Veteran 1994-1999 where I was formally trained as an inflight and ground helicopter mechanic.  After being honorably discharged in 1999 I entered the telecommunications field (cell tower construction) where I went from a green hand to General Manager as well as safety director and trainer.  Unfortunately, the telecom industry is extremely unstable and after 24 years and 3 layoffs I decided to re-invent myself in the roofing industry at age 50.  I took a position as a repair estimator in 2023 and have excelled tremendously with my first year sales nearing $800k.  After hearing about the position opening here at Florida Southern Roofing, I was extremely excited to come onboard to further my knowledge and work for a company that is a true team and family.  I was welcomed with open arms by the entire company and hope to make this my final career move.
