AMERICAN BUILDING SERVICES - Key Persons
Dawn joined the daily operations of ABS in 2011. Prior to that, her background was in business management and marketing. After working in that capacity for a Seattle-based architectural firm for several years, she took some time off to manage her household and raise two boys. During this time, she assisted Eric in his business roles and participated in servicing accounts, as needed. Since 2011, Dawn has acted as Managing Partner, responsible for sales and marketing, recruiting and hiring workforce, and administration and accounting functions. She also participates in routine inspections and will often visit a site and work along-side the crew to maintain a hands-on knowledge of any challenges our crew may experience and ensure we are working to meet our customers' expectations. She has always enjoyed customer relations and forming long-term, working relationships with clients.
Eric started American Building Services, Inc. (ABS) in 1993, while he was developing investment properties, as a way to supplement income and support a growing family. As an owner/operator, Eric was responsible for every aspect of business development and administration, as well as servicing the majority of the accounts on evenings and weekends, after normal business hours. Over the next several years, Eric began adding technicians to keep up with the increasing demand for services, growing the company to a workforce of 35+ today. He maintains an open channel of communication with many of our clients and crews and performs periodic inspections to maintain an understanding of our clients' on-going building maintenance needs.
In 2012, Eric added a subsidiary to ABS called ConcreteScrub. ConcreteScrub has become a strong source for local businesses, contractors, property owners, and managers throughout the greater Puget Sound area. ConcreteScrub provides complete concrete floor cleaning, grinding and polishing, adhesive and mastic removal, repair, and sealing services. Eric is responsible for sales and marketing and overall project scheduling and management.
