Kevin DeChristopher

Kevin DeChristopher served in the military and a brief stint in banking, he was hired at Mid South to load delivery trucks during the night shift in their Springfield, Virginia location. Often times he 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 he transitioned to Inside Sales at the Springfield branch. Working the front counter gave him a quick, and much needed, education in the construction industry. Soon after, an Outside Sales position opened up and he was given the chance to go “on the road”. At first, he was the Commercial Sales Rep, but eventually his 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 their branch in Richmond and in 1997, he had the opportunity to be the Operations Manager under his brother Robert, the Branch Manager at the time. It was great for him to be able to work with Robert and do all things necessary to start a branch from the ground up. he enjoyed his year in Richmond and then returned to Springfield as Operations Manager.
