In 1961, my father Frank launched City Wide Maintenance to provide Kansas City businesses quality janitorial services. Growing up in their family grocery stores, Frank saw just how hard it was to attract and retain good people to clean their stores at night. Knowing other business owners must struggle with the same thing, he decided to specialize in quality janitorial services you could count on. Frank’s hunch paid off, and City Wide quickly grew to a leading provider in the area. I too, learned every aspect of our family businesses growing up. Starting in sales, then as GM, we grew the business 600% in six years. By 1997, I was heading up the company. With a new vision for our future, we transitioned City Wide’s business model to a full-service, facilities management company offering 20+ services. This pivot created a unique opportunity for other entrepreneurs. So, in 2001, we launched City Wide Franchise, turning our thriving family business into a respected national brand. City Wide Facility Solution’s ongoing mission is to positively impact others by creating a ripple effect felt far and wide. Deeply rooted in our core values of professionalism, integrity, servant leadership and accountability, our business is about saving time and solving problems. By representing the clients, our teams help create safe and productive working environments for commercial properties. Proactively solving the clients’ needs is what drove us 60 years ago and is what drives us today. I’m humbled by our history and our people. We strive to lead City Wide’s ecosystem toward our vision… to be the first choice in every market we serve. To do that, we must excel in recruiting and retaining outstanding talent, creating an inspirational vision, pursuing a world-class experience for community members, and committing to an aggressive, innovative market growth strategy. This is how we will continue to be one of the fastest growing and most successful management companies in the building maintenance industry.I’m blessed to have worked with my family and serve on many boards. I’m honored to share my experiences, helping others achieve their goals. My wife and I have raised three amazing daughters and continue to pursue our love of family, outdoors, travel and fitness. I’m passionate about developing people who believe in making a difference in the world. I’m always looking for talented team members and entrepreneurs. If you want to learn more about us, let’s talk!
