Working at CK has been the opportunity of a lifetime and frankly an experience that I never envisioned – working 33+ years in one place and for a small private firm that has such an impact on the community it serves. The difference is the people – working with intelligent, ethical, ambitious, interesting, dedicated, hard-working, and yet very genuine, down to earth people who truly care about each other and our mutual success is a privilege that I do not take for granted.
