I am the Branch Manager of the Springfield, Virginia location and my Mid South career began on June 1994 when I was hired in to work the Customer Service counter. This was a little daunting as I did not have any "construction" experience but I did have years of customer service experience as a bartender. In January of 1995, I accepted a position in Outside Sales at the Winchester, Virginia branch. This was short lived and I was back on the counter in Springfield in May 1995. January 1998 presented with new opportunity, as Warehouse manager. I held this position for 2 years and in January of 2000 was promoted to Operations Manager.

The experience and knowledge I have gained in these different positions eventually led me to be named Branch Manager in Springfield in January of 2005, a position I have held ever since. I have generally had more direct reports than most anyone in the company. When I was originally interviewing with Mid South, our President mentioned he was looking to hire people who wanted to retire here ... I can honestly say that is my goal!

With a wealth of experience in the Kitchen & Bath industry dating back to 1977, Ken joined the Mid South team in November 2012, bringing with him his unique combination of skills and ability to see projects from all perspectives.

His work as a third generation custom cabinet maker and carpenter in residential and commercial construction has heavily influenced, improved and complimented Ken’s design skills, allowing him to develop a perspective for anticipating challenges and creating solutions for his clients. Ken strives to exceed his clients’ expectations via his strong design abilities, enhanced customer service skills, and his project management responsibilities.

Ken brings an attention to detail and a dedication to customer satisfaction to each project he works on, as well as a keen aptitude for problem solving. Let Ken help take the mystery out of your next project and bring your dream kitchen or bath to life!

Forrest was born and raised in Hanover, Virginia. He is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Business Management/Administration. After graduation, Forrest  stepped into retail management which provided him with some very useful knowledge and skills. Forrest learned the value of customer service and how important it is to build positive relationships with the customers you work with on a daily basis.

Towards the end of 2020, Forrest began looking for other job opportunities. His father was working for a home builder in Hanover County and after speaking with him numerous times, Forrest knew he wanted to do something in the home building/remodeling industry. In November 2020, Forrest was hired to work the Customer Service counter at our Richmond location. Working as Inside Sales gave Forrest the opportunity to learn our products inside and out, as well as learn first-hand the daily operations that are vital to our success and keeping the customer satisfied. 

A Outside Sales position opened up in January 2022 and Forrest was offered the position. He gladly accepted the role and is very excited for the opportunity to build relationships with our customers and help them meet their goals!

Emily is an alumna of the NKBA-accredited design program in Residential Environments and Design at Virginia Tech. She began her career with Mid South as a design intern in 2014 and has been expanding her role ever since.

In 2018, Emily had the unique and fulfilling opportunity to design our Ashburn showroom, which won the "Innovative Showroom" award presented by the NKBA.

After graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in Spring 1991 with a BS Major in Communications specializing in Public Relations, I joined Independent Wholesale Distributor Howard Supply Company in Chester, Virginia and quickly rose to the level of Branch Manager.  In August 1993 I was hired by Mid South as a Customer Service Representative to the Springfield, Virginia location.  In the Spring of 1994, I transferred to Richmond, Virginia to become Mid South's first full-time employee in the Richmond market as an Outside Sales Representative; allowing me to reconnect with many of my customers and clients established while working for Howard Supply.

After developing the Richmond territory for 2 years and building annual sales to over $1 million, I transferred back to Springfield where I took over the “Inside the Beltway” sales territory and earned Mid South Salesperson of the Year in 1997.  Over the next 2 years working on many commercial projects and learning from skilled Installers, I took on a newly established position as Installation Manager within Mid South's Installation Services department; managing mostly window and door installation projects.

Over the last 21 years, I have developed Installation Services to grow the division to more than $12 million in annual sales across our 3 exterior programs (Window/Door - Siding/Trim - Roofing). In August 2019, I was promoted to Vice President on Installation Services where I oversee all exterior installation projects, while cultivating the culture engrained within my 28+ years at Mid South.

Joe Crabtree has been designing, selling, and managing Kitchen & Bath projects for 20+ years and truly enjoys what he does! Prior to that Joe was in outside and inside sales of various products, owned his own business, worked in the carpentry and plumbing trades as well as working in the electrical industry.

Joe joined the Mid South team at the Fredericksburg branch after about 10 years of traveling to southern Maryland daily, where he designed, sold and managed all aspects of the Kitchen & Bath remodeling process including installation. In addition, Joe worked closely with various vendors in acquiring and implementing new product resources to better serve clients. Over the years Joe has worked with various builders throughout his career from custom to the more production oriented. He really enjoys seeing all aspects of a project come together with a beautiful home as the end result.

Joe’s vast array of experience in design, sales and project management (in both remodeling and new construction) has taught him that understanding a clients’ needs and expectations is the key to creating a design that serves them both functionally and aesthetically. Joe feels a successful project is accomplished by a combination of listening and conveying key points of the project to the client effectively.

After serving in the military and a brief stint in banking, I was hired at Mid South to load delivery trucks during the night shift in our Springfield, Virginia location. Often times I would work an extended shift and continue with deliveries the next morning. After 6 months, a position on the Customer Service counter opened up and I transitioned to Inside Sales at the Springfield branch.  Working the front counter gave me a quick, and much needed, education in the construction industry. Soon after, an Outside Sales position opened up and I was given the chance to go “on the road”.  At first, I was the Commercial Sales Rep, but eventually my territory consisted of D.C. and everything east of 95 down to Prince William County, encompassing all contractors and builders, not only commercial but also residential business as well.

The decision was made to open our branch in Richmond and in 1997, I had the opportunity to be the Operations Manager under my brother Robert, the Branch Manager at the time.  It was great for me to be able to work with Robert and do all things necessary to start a branch from the ground up.  I enjoyed my year in Richmond and then returned to Springfield as Operations Manager.

When an opportunity to be the Branch Manager in Winchester became available, I jumped at it. I moved my young family to Winchester in 1999 and have held that position ever since.

Fred has experienced all different aspects of the Building, Restoration, and Remodeling Industry as a whole.  As a Class A Licensed Contractor with over 20 years of knowledge of construction and design processes.  In addition, Fred has now devoted his attention to Mid South Building Supply as a Full Time Kitchen & Bath Cabinetry Designer.

His design inspiration is from the joint effort and collaboration of the customers input and expectations, along with his previous experiences and challenges of hands on design and installation.

Fred proudly served in the United States Navy. He devotes his spare time to God, his Wife, and his family. He enjoys golfing and fishing as well as other sports.

I have been an Employee Owner of Mid South Building Supply, Inc. since being hired as an Inside Sales Representative on June 24, 2002.

My time at Mid South has introduced me to a few different roles, all of which created great opportunities for my career.  After six months in Sales, I was identified as more of an “operations” Employee Owner and I transitioned in to our Installation Services department, initially scheduling window / door installations and services.  One year, I became the Siding Installation Program Manager.  In this role, I was able to develop a turnkey Siding Installation Program for our valued clients.

In 2004, I transitioned to Kitchen Installation, where I initially became Director of Customer Service and oversaw the daily operations of the Service Department of our Kitchen Installation Division.  In 2007, I was the Employee Elected Board Member and ESOP Trustee and remained in the role until 2020 when I became a full member of the Board of Directors and ESOP Trustees. 

In 2010, I was promoted to the position of Director of Operations for our Kitchen Installation department.  I have stayed in that role for 10 years overseeing all aspects of our Kitchen Installation Division for our new construction builders. In the summer of 2020, I took on the new role of Vice President of Kitchen Operations overseeing all aspects of the Kitchen Installation department.

Peggy is a passionate and creative individual who was born and raised in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.  In the early 1980’s, she was living in one of the highest unemployed towns in the country and moved to the eastern side of the state seeking employment. Working as an Executive Secretary of a multi-location Home Improvement store, she quickly became interested and excited about pursuing a career in the Kitchen & Bath Design industry. At that time, Kitchen & Bath design was all hand-drafted, and this appealed to both her creative and analytical traits.

In her first 10 years in the industry, Peggy’s skills grew as digital designing replaced drafting, and manufacturers expanded their offerings from minimum doors styles, wood species and cabinetry choices to unlimited selections. She moved to Virginia in 1993, where she raised her two beautiful children. Peggy is now an accomplished Designer, having taken on projects both big and small. She takes pride in creating spaces for her customers that are both beautiful and functional, regardless of their budget.

Regina began her career in 2001 after graduating from Art College with a degree in Graphic Design. Her interest for home imporvement and design began when Regina's high school teacher introduced her class to home floor plans. Regina got her first job with hand drawn layouts of home plans and kitchen layouts she had drawn as a hobby throughout high school and college. That job provided a great training program that taught Regina what she needed to know to start a career as a Kitchen & Bath Designer. Throughout her career, Regina has gained experience in all facets of the design process, from reading architectural blue prints and measuring job sites, to talking installers and finishers through the final details of the project. Before coming to Mid South, Regina designed two showrooms for previous employers and later worked as an independent Kitchen and Bath Designer.

Regina’s favorite parts of her job are problem solving tricky spaces and unusual issues that require unique design solutions, and walking her clients through the process of learning about cabinetry so they can make informed decisions about their project.

At home, Regina enjoys spending time with her three children, her partner Dennis, his sister Tyra and the 4 family cats.

Bill was introduced to Mid South in 2008 while working for a small subcontractor installing metal panels on a multi-family project in Arlington, VA—a project for which Mid South provided and installed kitchen cabinetry.

The company's need for an Automated Accounting System led Mimi to discover her knack for reading blueprints could offer a more creative opportunity within the company...leading  her to discover her love for architecture.  Creating and designing a client's dream home coupled with the attention to detail (the result of an Accounting degree) brought Mimi to her current position with Mid South. 

Mimi is Mom to (2) amazing children, her daughter (the oldest) graduated from IUP specializing in Marketing is also a member of the Mid South team.  Her son is the reason she joined Mid South in 2014. As her son entered High School, Mimi wanted the opportunity to be a "Soccer Mom" to the nth degree... joining the Mid South team offered her the flexibility to work and never miss a practice or game in 4 years.

From a young age, Kimberly had two main interests: interior design and working with children. When heading off to college, the kids won. Her degree in elementary education first came in handy as a preschool teacher, then while homeschooling her own six children, but she was always scheming about ways to make design her second career.  She has done everything from paint color consulting and sewing window coverings, to marble and granite sales. She has also remodeled the kitchens in all four homes she and her husband have owned, so kitchen design just made sense.

Nearly 4 years into her second career, Kimberly is an NKBA Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer (CKBD), and is thoroughly enjoying her newest position as the Designer/Showroom Manager at Mid South’s Charlottesville location.  She loves developing relationships with her clients and creating the most functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces their budgets will allow. She especially appreciates the puzzle-like challenge of maximizing existing spaces in older homes.  Kimberly is known for her personable nature, patience, and attention to every detail.  When not at the showroom, she is still passionately perusing an Internet full of kitchen designs and continuing her education in every way possible, along with spending time with her husband and six kids, whom she adores.

My connection with residential construction began at a young age as our family home was being remodeled. After high school, my career began in new construction as an installer of vinyl siding. I transitioned into the remodeling side of the industry over the next 15 years, learning other trades along the way. I eventually became a customer of Mid South and appreciated the level of service they provided. Since 2014 I’ve served as a Territory Sales Rep for the exterior building products offered through the Camp Hill branch.
 
I’m thankful for the skilled team here in Camp Hill that our long-time manager, Stu McCoy, has assembled. As Stu looks to retire soon, I look forward to continuing his example of servant leadership as we focus on the growing new construction and remodeling market here in central PA.
