Kevin Breed was born and raised in Syracuse, NY. He graduated from Onondaga Community College in 1996 with a degree in Architectural Technology. In the fall of 1997 he relocated to Charlotte, NC to set the roots of his career. Kevin spent his first couple years working various construction labor positions until he landed a job with a flooring contractor. He held a couple different positions within the company and was then promoted to the Hardwood Floor Installation Manager. From their Kevin obtained his first gig with a commercial general contractor as an Assistant Project Manager with Westport Corporation and thus beginning his true career and passion for construction. Next for him was the decision to move to New York City where he was hired to work with Adelhardt Construction, a great small family owned firm. As it turns out, as much as he loved the City he did miss the great weather...so he returned to Charlotte. The second time around proved to be the best move yet, he met his fiance Kathryn and thus found the motivation to take the leap and start his own business. When the economy collapsed in late 2008, they both decided to move to the coast sooner than later and ended up in Carolina Beach and thus Elevate Construction was relocated to the Wilmington area.
