In all these pursuits and more he’s usually with his family-and he’s never without Minnie & Mooch.

Construction has been a part of Ken’s life since childhood, when he helped his father renovate their historic family home. After several years at a large commercial construction firm in Boston, he transitioned to the custom residential market with KKB. Nowadays, he loves spending time with his wife and three children, engaging in their various activities. Ken enjoys teaching them the ins and outs of renovating their own old home and working in his home workshop.
He leads an active lifestyle, running and training for the Boston Marathon and Disney Marathon weekend events. Additionally, he works closely with his family in the Christmas tree business that his father started over 30 years ago. No matter what he is doing, Ken enjoys the time spent with his family and trying new things together.

Julie Couture
Project Manager
Construction, in one form or another, has always been part of Julie’s life. Her first teacher was her grandfather, a master carpenter. From there she moved on to selling real estate with her Dad up in Maine and out in Idaho it was land development and a whole lot of fly fishing. Finding her way back to New England, she considers herself privileged to be able to take part in creating beautiful homes. If you ever want to find Julie away from work, you will likely need to track her down. She’s probably with her husband or on her ATV up in New Hampshire somewhere.

Gary actively promotes teamwork at every level of the organization, believing that strong teams are the foundation of lasting success.
He has built and led successful teams and credits much of his success to the invaluable experience of working alongside and learning from some of the best firefighters, police officers, and EMTs in Massachusetts. One of the most influential lessons from his fire service career comes from Phoenix, AZ Fire Chief Alan V. Brunacini: “Take the process seriously—not yourself.” This mindset continues to guide Gary’s approach to leadership and problem-solving.
