Our Employee Spotlight for June is Kevin Ferrone, a program support supervisor for the Connecticut multifamily programs. Let’s take some time to learn about our teammate Kevin.
Please provide some background about yourself.
I was born and raised in Wallingford, CT, where I still live today. I attended Eastern Connecticut State University where I studied Business Administration with a concentration in marketing, graduating in 2012.
One of my favorite things to do when not at work is play sports. I grew up playing baseball and now play softball. I love staying active and spending time with my family. I have a very large family and we do everything together. My aunts recently threw my 6-month-old daughter Charlotte a half-birthday so that we can all spend time together.
Prior to joining CMC, what did you know about energy efficiency or the industry? What made you join CMC? Prior to joining CMC, I didn’t know much about energy efficiency. My neighbor recommended me to CMC when I was looking for a new job. Luckily, CMC had an opportunity available and I have grown from an assistant field technician to a supervisor.
What motivates you about the work that you do? I truly enjoy helping people and seeing the joy that our work brings them. As a homeowner myself, I know the struggle of high energy bills. Being able to help someone save money is one of the most rewarding things you can do. I enjoy that each day is different and brings new challenges.
What is your favorite type of work/project/responsibility that you do at CMC? My favorite type of work at CMC is being a supervisor and mentor to other employees. I have been with CMC for almost 10 years now and have learned a lot from other employees. The knowledge I can share with new employees helps them grow and is rewarding for me on a daily basis.
What do you do for fun? Do you have any hidden talents or interests? I play in a fantasy baseball league that is competitive. I have been playing with the same guys for almost a decade and it grows each year. Being a part of the league keeps me closer to a lot of my friends and keeps me close to the game I love.
Do you have any fun plans for the next few months, vacations, (2023 summer) etc? My wife and I had our daughter Charlotte this past November (2022) and I am excited to spend the summer with her. We plan on going to Rhode Island for a week this summer and taking her to the beach. Watching her experience these new things will be exciting to see.
