David Boer, Boer Brothers Heating & Cooling, Plumbing
Grown. This is the only letter of the four that carries figures.
Kerry worked with us for many years as a business coach, technician coach, manager coach, and owner coach. Kerry understood that growing Boer Brothers was never just about revenue. It was about our employees, our customers, our families, the communities we serve, and the three brothers trying to build something meaningful together.

Kerry helped us weather some very difficult storms. Just as importantly, Kerry helped us see and avoid many more before they ever reached us. There were plenty of times when we were too close to a situation to see it clearly. Kerry had a way of slowing us down, asking the right questions, and helping us find the best path forward even when it was not the easiest one.
Over the years we worked together, we more than doubled our revenue and grew into a $20-million-plus company. [...] But the numbers are only part of the story.
Kerry helped us become a better company. We became more organized, more accountable, and much more intentional about how we lead and serve. We adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System through EOS and Traction, strengthened our management team, and built systems that allow the company to grow without losing its heart. We became a truly service-oriented business, not only in how we care for customers, but also in how we support our employees and one another.
Kerry also helped us expand beyond heating and cooling. We added plumbing [...] We opened another branch. That kind of growth can create enormous opportunities, but it can also create problems if the foundation is not strong. Kerry helped us build that foundation and think through growth in a disciplined, sustainable way.
When I look at Boer Brothers today, I can see Kerry's influence throughout the company: in how we lead, how our managers communicate, how our technicians serve customers, how we hold one another accountable, and how we make decisions about the future.
[...] If you are a business owner who truly wants to grow, not only in revenue, but also in leadership, culture, service, and lasting value, I cannot recommend Kerry highly enough. Kerry made a tremendous difference for Boer Brothers, for my family, and for me personally. We would not be the company we are today without that guidance.
