Management

SKC is a privately held corporation headquartered in Shawnee Mission, KS. Our three sibling owners are active in the day-to-day operations of the business. They joined SKC in the early 1990s, and purchased the company from their father in 2002. Under their leadership, SKC has experienced tremendous year-over-year growth.

SKC encourages community involvement and it sponsors four local charities, which provide employees many opportunities throughout the year to give back and help the less fortunate. Each of SKC’s owners serves an active role in one of the charities as a board member. Additionally, our remote employees also strive to make a difference in their communities by participating in local charities.

Through these charities, SKC employees have spent countless hours mentoring troubled youth, cooking meals throughout the year and providing holiday gifts for less fortunate families.
