David Kendall, CEO/President

“I am thankful for our team’s ability to work through adversity. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been faced several challenges. I am so thankful that our team has stayed connected and supportive. I look forward to 2022 and our success as a company!”

Stephen Alfano, Business Development Director

“Coping with the ongoing COVID response and the sudden passing of several family members and friends have been extremely challenging for my family and me. I am grateful for the kindness and support I received from my KAI colleagues. You folks rocked being my rock. Thank you.”

Debbie Blagsvedt, Senior OCM Consultant

“I am thankful for all the people in my life. I have been blessed with parents who have both lived long lives and have been models of servanthood. I also see that characteristic in the KAIP family, who are supportive, kind, and willing to offer a helping hand in times of need. I’m in gratitude for all their support. I’m also very thankful for the Covid-19 vaccine.”

Dave Cornejo, Senior Project Manager

“I am thankful for the very supportive Home and Work Families who are always there when I need them the most.”

Elizabeth Long, Service Delivery Account Lead

“I am thankful for my many family blessings including two beautiful adult children, a new grandson, an amazing life partner, and friends that are like family! And, I am so so grateful I am able to work for a company that shares many of the same values including work-life balance. Thank you KAIP!”

I am grateful to experience life in a human-connected kind of way.”

David Niska, Business Analyst

“I got the official word from my doctors in October that I am officially cancer-free. After being diagnosed with it last October and going through surgery and treatment, it is a big relief.”
