Our Moms Said We Were Cute?
This page is for you slightly superficial types who need to know what our company members look like before you’ll consider hiring them. Hey, we’re not knocking you! We’d do it, too.
You will see that while some of us are great at Guttering and others of us are wonderful at Windows; some are remarkable Marketers and others are darn good Drywallers. We are all very special in our own little ways. (Cute, isn’t it?)
Pat Strand - Head Chef (12 Years) pstrand@totalhomekc.com
 |
Meat & Taters: Small Business Entrepreneur; CR License; Marvin Installation Certified; NARI Member
Life Story: Working tirelessly–day in and day out–to bring sexy back to the remodeling industry, is our fearless leader Pat Strand. Pat set out years ago to earn his lot in life as a cabana boy in South America. When that didn’t work out, he stumbled upon something he was actually good at–Home Remodeling (he’s even earned his CR License to prove it). Now, we are of the opinion that Pat historically has not had the most intelligent taste in women. As Pat’s second family, we now make it our personal business to thoroughly interview any of his prospective dating candidates. This process has worked out really well–it’s even managed to land him a hot, smart, fairly normal steady girlfriend. Pat and Christina have recently moved to a little loft in the city. They tell us that they did this to become more culturally involved with their city. But we know better. Pat’s got some weird Carrie Bradshaw, Sex In The City fixation–It’s probably just more of this whole “Bringing Sexy Back” theme.
Hobby: Skydiving & biking.
Pet Peeve: “Mowing. Living in the city works out really well, here.”
Guilty Pleasure:“My juicer. I use it everyday. Sometimes, I use it twice a day.”
Special Secret: Pat receives weekly coupons in the mail from JoAnn’s Fabrics and Hobby Lobby…And he uses them.
Paulo Sauzo - The Artist, Painting Division (HIATUS)
admin@totalhomekc.comMeat & Taters Small Business Entrepreneur
Life Story: Paulo comes to us from the beautiful country of Brazil. He packed up his wife and moved to the U.S. 4 years ago. Paulo has a little boy named Luis. Luis is in the process of working through his terrible twos, therefore, Paulo is earning his first gray hairs at a rather young age. When Luis visits the office, we attach him to a tether–This keeps all parties involved safe from harm. Although we know Paulo misses his native land of tropical rain forests, beaches and carnivals, we are just so blessed that this Brazilian Nut has opted to hang out in the good ‘ol Midwest with Team Total Home. (He fits in REALLY well).
Hobby: Finding creative ways to talk Pat into paying for his skydiving excursions. The last vetoed idea–send Paulo out of the plane with a customized “Total Home” logoed parachute, logoed apparel and a megaphone.
Pet Peeve: “My what? What is this ‘Pet Peeve?’ Something I do not like…That is what this means? Well, I do not like fake people. People who say something and act like your friend but then go behind your back…I do not like those **** sorry **** ** ****** stupid ********! Is that what you needed?”
Guilty Pleasure: Paulo said his favorite American food was Tacos…He then retracted and switched to “Big Steak.”
Special Secret: The accent is fake.
Peter Simcak- The Okno Man (3 Years)
admin@totalhomekc.comMeat & Taters: Marvin Window Certified Installer
Life Story: Introducing, Mr. Popularity: Peter was born in the Czech Republic. We are forever grateful that he somehow landed in our neck of the woods. Peter has a wife, a daughter and 2 dogs. Peter’s personality and skill have awarded him “fan-favorite” status with our clients.
Hobby: In addition to traveling, playing sports and relaxing - Peter likes to keep his eye out for really great bumper stickers. His favorite to date: “It’s not how you pick your nose but where you put the booger.” That’s right, we claim him.
Pet Peeve: Peter is too nice to have any pet peeves. But here’s something you should know: Peter doesn’t like pie. I know, right? You know the guy’s gotta be extremely good at his craft for us to allow such an individual into our clan.
Special Skill: Perfect English.
Special Secret: Peter wishes he could be his dog. Don’t we all?
Frankie Kuda- Window Warrior(3 Years)
admin@totalhomekc.comMeat & Taters: Marvin Window Certified Installer
Life Story: Frankie is our other Czech Republic friend. He and Peter work as a team. They offer an excellent compliment to one another. While Peter is very happy-go-lucky and cheerful, Frankie is a little more…raw. Frankie tells us that one of his special claims to fame is his inate ability to easily make people angry. We find this quite funny seeing as how he also claims that his favorite color is pink. (No joke).
Hobby: Frankie’s favorite thing to do is sleep and watch cartoons. We believe that Frankie will experience an easy transition into retirement someday.
Pet Peeve: “Me.”
Guilty Pleasure: “I like symphony music.”
Special Secret: “If I could be any animal, I would like to be a fly. Why? Short life. Haha.” Frankie takes a rather sarcastic, edgy approach to life, but in spite of this, he is a master at what he does. We wouldn’t trade him for the world.
