Allen Pederson Wins April 2020 Core Values Award

Allen Pederson is a Carpenter Foreman out of the Twin Cities office, is the winner of the April 2020 Kraus-Anderson Core Values Award. He was nominated by a complete stranger, someone who has no connection to KA, but his encounter with Allen moved him to go out his way to write us. He writes:

Allen Pederson is a Carpenter Foreman out of the Twin Cities office.

“I just had such a positive experience with one of your workers at the Delta Dental job site at 500 Washington in downtown Minneapolis, that I want to make an effort to show this guy some love for his actions. The short story is he is working on one of your job sites downtown and yesterday on his way into work, he found the wallet my daughter dropped the previous evening on her way home from a piano lesson.  Not only did he find it, he went to great lengths to track her down, with the only identifying piece being her school ID, he called the school to have them relay a message to my daughter that it had been recovered.  To cap it off, he picked up on my conversation with him while we were arranging the pickup that she turns 16 tomorrow and her driving permit was in that wallet.  Without that she would not be able to take her driver’s test later this week.  He even put a gift card for her in the wallet as a birthday and good luck wish for her… He did a great job representing not only his personal integrity, but the KA brand.”
