EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT:

Josh Karleskint

A Dedicated Team Member Making An Impact

Join us in honoring Josh Karleskint, HVAC Installer. Josh is from Ft. Scott, Kansas, and has spent the past 17 years happily married to his wife Amanda. Together, they have two boys named Connor and Easton.

Prior to joining CDL, he worked for two other heating and cooling companies. However, for the last 15 years, he has been a part of the CDL family. During his time time with CDL, Josh states that he has gained valuable experience working on various HVAC installation projects, both big and small.

Outside of work, Josh and his wife and built their forever home on a small piece of property south of Ft. Scott five years ago. This has been a very fulfilling endeavor for them.

When he first started at CDL, he began in the service department before eventually transitioning to the installation team. Over the years, he has worked alongside several skilled installers, learning from them and hopefully passing on his knowledge to others.

One piece of advice Josh always shares with my colleagues is the importance of taking your time and not rushing through tasks. Sometimes, slowing down can lead to better results.

In his free time, he enjoys hunting with his boys. Connor is particularly fond of waterfowl hunting, while Easton eagerly anticipates deer season in the fall. Josh also makes it a point to travel to Montana every year for a hunting trip with his brother.

According to Josh, “my dream vacation is simply to spend quality time with my family, relaxing together and enjoying good meals at nice restaurants. I have enjoyed various vacations in the past, whether it’s been by the pool, at the beach, or in the mountains.”

Josh likes to remind his coworkers that dedication is key in our trade. Even on tough days, it’s important to push through and complete each job with enthusiasm, knowing that it sets us up for success in the long run.

“Josh has been here for 15 years and is always willing to step up to the plate to get a job done. He will travel if needed, and work with other divisions if they need his help. He is a very valuable to the success of HVAC. His knowledge and willingness to help train the younger team members is also very crucial for our success.”
