Starting as a boilermaker at the young age of 15, Kim amassed more than 50 years of experience in metal fabrication.

Following the loss of his wife in 2017, Kim began to transition his responsibilities to his daughter, teaching her the intricacies of the business. He officially retired in 2021, but his love for the craft keeps him actively involved. Kim is always on hand to provide advice and assist with estimating, ensuring the ongoing success of Spiralworks.
