MEET TWO OF KIRKWOOD’S MOST ENTERTAINING GUYS, TIM AND CHRIS CONVY.

JUNE 2023

This Guy

Oh, man. Have you seen comedian Greg Warren’s newest standup comedy special, The Salesman on YouTube? Seriously, put this magazine down, pull up YouTube, and type in Greg Warren The Salesman . Greg (pictured above) has a hysterical perspective on peanut butter, Pringles, and his time as a salesman for Procter & Gamble. This guy's standup comedy is so funny and perfect for the entire family to watch. Greg is sharp and insightful, and he is the person who suggested that Tim and Chris Convy would be great guys to profile for this month’s Men’s issue. Can I admit that I only knew Tim as the standup comedian who opened for Greg? So, I knew Tim was funny, but I didn’t know his story. Oh my gosh - Tim's got SUCH a great story. And then, when Chris’ story is tied in with Tim’s - their combined story would make a GREAT movie. Honestly, I would watch the movie version of EVERY guy featured in this issue. I love that our community has so many remarkable men. And I love that Chief Jim Silvernail said he would choose Clint Eastwood to be cast in the movie version of his life. Since the fire chief is choosy about his movie heroes, I wonder if he is he also choosy about his peanut butter? This guy is.

The future looks bright for Two Blind Guys

Two Blinds Guys commitment to their customers, the community and to family for 25 years continues.

ARTICLE BY LUCY ROGERS PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

Kris, Debbie and Rob Kinsinger

Two Blind Guys was awarded the 2022 Business of the Year by the Kirkwood - Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce and will celebrate 25 years in business this October. Owner Debbie Kinsinger (DK) and her two sons, Kris Kinsinger (KK) and Rob Kinsinger (RK), talk about their roles as leaders of this dynamic family business.

TWO BLIND GUYS UNDERWENT CHANGES AND DEBBIE BECAME THE SOLE OWNER IN 2013. DESCRIBE THAT EXPERIENCE.

DK - It was scary because I went from having a part in the business, to fully running it. Thankfully, Hunter Douglas provided so much support as I worked to move from a mom-and-pop business to a premier gallery experience.

WHAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT TURNING POINT SINCE YOU TOOK OVER THE BUSINESS?

DK - There were two major turning points. The first was when Kris started in sales, and the second was when Rob came in to handle the finances.

DID KRIS COME INTO THE BUSINESS TO HANDLE SALES?

DK - No. Kris was thrown into sales overnight. At that time, I was our only salesperson and Kris was working in the showroom taking phone calls and helping with installs. One day, I broke my leg on the job and couldn't walk. We needed to continue calling on customers, so Kris stepped in as the salesperson the next day.

KK - I was terrified because I had no experience in sales. I was comfortable with installations but had no idea how to walk into a house with samples, books, and pricing. It took a couple of weeks, but I ended up liking sales.

DK - Breaking my leg propelled our business in a different direction. I began backing out of sales which allowed Kris to develop into that role, ensuring that our customers would always be cared for.

KRIS, WHEN DID YOU KNOW THIS WOULD BE YOUR PERMANENT CAREER?

KK - When Rob came into the business. His strengths are very different from mine. I'm not a finance guy.

DK - Rob came in and completely revitalized the financial aspect of the business.

RK - I graduated with an economics degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis. I applied what I learned in school to alleviate some of the financial pressure Debbie and Kris were facing. But nothing I did on the finance side of the business would have mattered if we didn't have happy customers. I couldn't do their jobs. Kris knows how to grow a business through marketing, networking, social media, and sales.

DK - We each have different strengths that cohesively keep us all together. I'm grateful and thankful for each of them. They bring a lot of knowledge that I don't have.

WHAT'S THE ONE THING YOU'VE LEARNED AS BUSINESS LEADERS?

KK- As leaders, whether as owners or managers, we do a disservice to co-workers, employees, and clients if we are not following our potential to grow or expand. It's our duty to continue to grow. There are points where we get comfortable or

hit that milestone and think we made it. But there is another milestone if you keep going. It's our duty to keep going.

RK - People think that when you become part of a family business you have a golden ticket for life. Everyone on our team works hard to go above and beyond to operate at the highest level. Solid communication provides clarity for the long-term growth and success of the business. Communication with each other and our customers is one of the keys to our success.

DK - You can only grow if you see a path for growth. As I start documenting the journey of how we began and where we are now, I realize it is well worth the struggle. Everything happens for a reason, and breaking my leg was God's way of saying, "You have to do something differently." We've come a long way just in the past couple of years. We completely renovated our showrooms in Des Peres and Chesterfield with state-of-the-art designed Hunter Douglas products that match the interior design and automation trends. And we are looking at the entire home industry for opportunities to scale and grow.

WHAT'S THE ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU HAVE FOR OTHER BUSINESS LEADERS?

KK - Surround yourself with mentors and people who will challenge you. Minimize voices that say you're crazy

for thinking big or that it's not worth it to work so hard. Listen to the people who are your biggest champions. They usually have been where you are and can point you in the right direction when things aren't easy.

RK- Find a specialization and stick with it. Take ownership of your designated role and respect each other's expertise. I can suggest something to Kris or Debbie, but at the end of the day, they will do their best job and have the business's best interest in mind.

DK - Have an open mind and be willing to learn new things. The most successful family businesses are the ones that figure out how to work together.

AS BROTHERS, HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE?

KK - Since I'm the oldest and Rob is the youngest of the four of us (siblings Jenna and Jake are in the middle), we were at different places in our lives because of our ages.

RK - I recall taking a lot of abuse. Particularly being duct taped to our doghouse and being pelted with paintballs.

KK - We wrapped Rob in pillows, put a ski mask on him and said, "Run."

DK - Like I said earlier, we've come a long way. For more information or to reach the team please contact: twoblindguys.com

NOT A JOB, BUT A LIFESTYLE FOR FIRE CHIEF SILVERNAIL.

MAN OF DISTINCTION

DID YOU GROW UP WANTING TO BECOME A FIREFIGHTER?

My dad, Jim Silvernail Sr., was the Metro West Fire Protection fire chief for over 30 years, so I grew up with a good foundation for what firefighters do. But my degree is in Business Administration and Finance. It didn't take long to realize my heart was in fire protection. My enthusiasm for fire safety is what drives me. This is not a job. It's a lifestyle. I'm always a fireman. I don't turn it off when I go home. It's my identity.

YOU WERE HONORED AS A 2023 ST. LOUIS 100 TITANS OF INDUSTRY FOR YOUR EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP, VISION, AND PASSION. AS THE FIRST FIRE CHIEF IN THE UNITED STATES TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A TITAN 100, TALK ABOUT YOUR IMPACT ON THE FIRE PROTECTION INDUSTRY. Being a fire captain on the fire apparatus was my passion. But, if you want to impact an industry, you have to step up to assume leadership responsibilities and make the choices for the good of the company and all stakeholders. I have an undying love for fire department tactics and strategies, the true basics of firefighting. I was part of a committee that evaluated and rewrote our standard operating procedures. This led to me writing articles for Fire Engineering magazine, speaking at conferences, and writing a 350-page textbook, which I dedicated to my dad. I'm humbled that the Titan 100 organization chose someone who serves in the public setting.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

I'm proud to have achieved this position and to follow in my dad's footsteps. I stepped into his seat on the board of directors for BackStoppers, Inc. And I'm proud of our crew because they are out there every day making a difference. As firefighters, we are part of something bigger than ourselves. Fire departments have been around for 250 years, and we carry on from those who came before us. We want to end our careers by saying we've made an impact on people's lives. Kirkwood is a super city, and I'm proud to have the opportunity to leave a mark by taking an already great organization and moving it forward. Over the past seven years, we have restructured our command staff, formed relationships with our neighbors in Glendale, and connected directly with our communities. Our job as the fire department is to provide equity to the city in fire prevention and community risk reduction. Our crew loves going out into the community to provide education and build public relations because they know how much the community values and appreciates this department.

IF A MOVIE WAS MADE ABOUT YOUR LIFE AS A FIREFIGHTER, WHO WOULD YOU CAST TO PLAY YOU?

I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I have a picture of Clint hanging at the top of the steps in my office. I don't look like Clint Eastwood, but he'd be my choice.

“This is not a job. It’s a lifestyle. I’m always a fireman. I don’t turn it off when I go home. We carry on from those who came before us. We want to end our careers by saying we’ve made an impact on people’s lives.”

GOOD GUYS TO KNOW

When I think about these guys, the word that comes to mind is “legacy.” A father creating a family business legacy with his son, an entrepreneurial realtor helping the next generation navigate the future, and a musician sharing his stories of hope and happiness through song. These are good guys to know.

Building a Legacy

Thomas Hoffmann is a mechanical engineer and has spent a lifetime building. He married his high school sweetheart Julie and built a beautiful family. Thomas’ son Nick Hoffmann is an engineer proudly working with his dad. Building Thomas Hoffmann Air Conditioning & Heating is the pinnacle of Thomas’ career, and he is beyond proud to share it with Nick. They value their outstanding work and the lasting relationships they have built as they continue the Hoffmann legacy for the next generation.

The Future of Our Work Force

Antione Lawrence recently spoke with 8th-grade students about entrepreneurship and real estate. “The students are excited about using Artificial Intelligence to create new careers and innovative ways to go about life,” he said. “We should be hopeful and believe this next generation will create good things with increased technology, such as better medicine, less food insecurity, and more opportunities to help the less advantaged. If you are a business owner, hire the youth. Trust me.”

Find that one thing

“We’re all one thing away from realizing we’re more connected than we are disconnected. Find that one thing,” said Roger. If you listen to music on Spotify, SoundCloud or Apple, take a moment to listen to original works of music by Kirkwood resident, singer/ songwriter, Roger Stojeba. Roger’s newest album The Man Who Controlled Time is influenced by many genres, specifically early blues, rock, country and jazz music. As a special bonus, Roger’s daughter, Lea, can be heard on a few tracks. His music is dedicated to all those who have lived, laughed and loved during their battle with cancer.

HIS STORY

HomeWork with Trisha McConkey.

The May issue of Kirkwood City Lifestyle arrived in mailboxes on April 27th, and at 9:10 am the following morning I received an email from Greg Cook, one of the four prior owners of our new home on 408 Gill. He wanted to share his story of this 115-year-old home and neighborhood.

"There was a huge 4th of July party for everyone in the neighborhood," Greg said as he laid out a stack of pictures and the original MLS listing from when he purchased the home in 1987. I asked him if he knew about the charred beams in the ceiling, and he thought the house had been struck by lightning. Talk of the home's structure quickly turned to Greg sharing stories about the history surrounding 408 Gill. He mentioned the streetcar that ran from the Loop Lounge

(now 612 Kitchen and Cocktails) down our street, bringing residents out of the city to their summer homes on Gill and Woodlawn. I discovered that the brick wall behind our property was built because people would leave Kirkwood Country Club and end up in the backyard. Greg noted that Jane Nipher Gould lived in the home behind ours and that Nipher Middle School was named after her dad. I can't wait to learn more history of this house.

HomeWork with Trisha McConkey features stories about people, places and things related to the home services industry. Follow Trisha on Facebook and Instagram at @HomeWorkbyTricia and @408GillAve. Or walk by 408 Gill to watch the transformation.

Standup Guys

Tim and Chris Convy are co-hosts on the popular morning radio show THE COURTNEY SHOW on 106.5 The Arch. While Chris gives his older brother Tim a hard time with hilarious morning show banter, the joking around is amplified when their mom, dad, younger brother Curran and youngest sister Kaki are on the show. Laughs aside, what is most remarkable about these two brothers is their unwavering friendship, respect, admiration, support, and love for each other along their journeys in the entertainment industry.

Chris Convy: A big part of our story is our parents. They were insanely supportive and cool, believing in us and encouraging us to

follow our dreams when we wanted to pursue careers in entertainment.

Tim Convy: I don't think I ever thought I'd end up back in St. Louis, let alone a mile from where I grew up. And I never thought I would end up working here with Chris.

Kirkwood Lifestyle Magazine: And yet….

KLM: DID YOU ALWAYS KNOW YOU WOULD BE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?

CC: Have you ever heard a story about someone who willed things into existence? That's Tim. He has wanted to be in a rock

band since grade school. His first song, Trouble with the Bubbles, was a big hit at Ste. Genevieve du Bois.

TC: As a kid, I remember saying I want to play music - that's my thing. I was in bands all through school.

CC: One of the kids at my high school started making sketch comedy videos for the student council, and he inspired me to get a camera and start making videos.

TC: I could still watch these videos today. They were way ahead of what people were doing in high school.

SO, WHAT WAS THE CATALYST THAT LAUNCHED YOU BOTH INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY?

CC: It was Tim. Tim always paved the way for us. Tim has obsessions and makes them happen. I let them happen.

TC: It was the luckiest thing in the world. When I was in college, MTV offered an internship program. I knew a lot about music, so my internship was working directly under the only executive producer that still did music programming. I worked on the Video Music Awards, Unplugged, and The Movie Awards.

CC: Tim decided that as cool as that internship was, he wanted to be in a rock band. So, I took over his internship when he left to join the band Ludo.

TC: The early days of Ludo were all about having big dreams, living in a van with my friends, not having a clue what we were doing but figuring it out as we went.

CC: Tim went off with the band, and I moved to New York and stepped into what could have been his career trajectory. Looking back, I could have done different things and been smarter about my entire career if I had known more. I should have focused more on directing. But I got hired to produce things. As you jump from show to show, you get fun new titles like production assistant, associate producer, segment producer, and coordinating producer. I worked at MTV as part of the production team for the VMAs, The Movie Awards,

Unplugged, Spring Break, and the Super Bowl. It was a great rotation of shows until the Janet Jackson thing happened at the Super Bowl. After that, our production team dissolved, and everyone went on to do other things. Television production is a lot of freelance, so you bounce from job to job. I am well suited for that because I quickly get tired of things. I was lucky enough to continue to get hired, so I could keep working.

TC: Fast forward five years, and we are both grinding - Chris in TV and me with Ludo. Our band signed a record deal in 2006 with Island Def Jam. The label sent us to LA in 2007 to record our album at the legendary Sound City Studios. Island also paid for Chis to come out and spend months with us documenting the making of the album.

CC: They didn't pay me a lot because I lived in the closet of your apartment.

AT THE AGE OF 25 AND 27, WAS THAT EXPERIENCE SURREAL?

TC: I don't think any of that was lost on our band. We had spent the past five years living in a van, eating PBJs, and putting in a lot of hard work to get to that point. There was an extraordinary level of stress that I've not experienced since that time. I was a kid. I wish I had enjoyed it. We were on MTV, and I didn't enjoy it because I wanted to be on Late Night. We were on the Tonight Show, and I didn't enjoy it because I wanted to be on SNL. We never got there. Now, post-Ludo, I don't take anything for granted.

CC: Tim can build momentum and drive something to fruition. Some people have dreams, hopes, and aspirations, but those die on the vine. When Tim wants something, watching him drive to bring it home is pretty amazing.

WHAT

WAS THE TURNING POINT FROM THOSE EARLY DAYS TO WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

TC: My career fell apart. His career continued cruising. At the height of Ludo, we performed on the Tonight Show, and all these great things were happening, but internally, we couldn't keep it

“I don’t think I ever thought I’d end up back in St. Louis, let alone a mile from where I grew up. And I never thought I would end up working here with Chris.”

- Tim Convy

together as a band. We were on different pages. And then it ended. It broke my heart and crushed me.

CC: When Tim's dream got taken away, it affected our entire family. It was his dream, but we all loved and supported the band. Ludo has a movie story ending though. In 2018, after having not played a show in 6 or 7 years and being somewhat estranged, the band sold out two nights at The Pageant. It was magical. Our whole family was on stage together. Watching Tim do what he was born to do was pure joy - which was being up on stage. Since then, Ludo has performed sold-out shows at The Pageant every Halloween.

SO, TIM, HOW DID YOU STEP INTO STANDUP COMEDY?

TC: After the band broke up, I returned to New York and lived with Chris. I stayed in the music industry and worked with incredible artists. There were cool moments and some projects that I'm proud of, but ultimately, I was miserable. On the other hand, Chris was killing it in TV and started working on a show at MTV called Nikki and Sara Live. Chris and Nikki (Glaser) started dating. I'd come home and tell them stories about my bad dates. Nikki said, "You should do stand up and tell your stories." That's where the idea of

“Young people need to know there are paths to follow if they want to do something that is not the typical career. Be adventurous.” - Chris Convy

doing standup started. I wanted to leave New York for a while, so I returned to St. Louis and started doing open mic nights at the Funny Bone. I also started doing marketing at the Funny Bone. I met with an old friend in radio who asked me if I had ever considered working in radio. I joked, saying, "If you give me a morning show, I'll consider it."

CC: In 2016, Nikki and I created a show called Not Safe with Nikki Glaser. We sold the show to Comedy Central in LA, packed a van, and drove cross country. We hired Tim as the show's talent producer. When I was making this show, I felt the same thing Tim felt when making his record. I thought, "If I do my job right, everything will be fine for the rest of my career." The Ludo album did better than the TV show, so you be the judge.

TC: I never could have left their TV show because it was so much fun, but after it ended, I decided I'd rather be back in the comedy community at the Funny Bone. And by then, there was an opportunity on a St. Louis morning radio show.

BUT NOT WITH COURTNEY LANDRUM.

TC: Right. I was at a different station. But eventually, I auditioned and joined Courtney & Company on Y-98.

CC: I'd come on the show and make fun of Tim when I was in town. Courtney loved it. She and I are kindred spirits.

TC: Courtney left Y-98 and immediately found another morning show on 106.5 The Arch. I would have gone with her, but contractually, I couldn't. Courtney said, "Well, what if we got your brother instead?" I thought, "There is no way he's going to do it - he's crushing it in LA."

CC: Courtney is beloved. She is the perfect center of everything that is St. Louis, and she is so cool. We started talking about making this happen in February 2020. I can take a year or two off in my TV career, which wouldn't matter much. I've never done radio and have always been behind the camera. I thought it would be a fun experience. It was also a great time to come home and spend time with my parents and my sister Kaki who was having kids at an alarming rate. I joined Courtney and Brando in April 2020.

DO YOU STILL PRODUCE TV SHOWS?

CC: I produced Beauty and the Beast Live, and then most recently, I executive produced the Mark Twain Prize honoring Adam Sandler. With freelance television, I can split my time between doing radio here and then spend a few months on a television show in LA or NY. CONTINUED >

AND YOU CONTINUE TO DO STANDUP COMEDY, TIM?

TC: I never stopped. After I left Y-98, I spent a year on the road doing standup comedy with Greg Warren. Eventually, there was a place for me on Courtney's show with Brando and Chris. Somewhere along the way, I got married and had a baby.

HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR WIFE?

TC: I was flying to watch Nikki shoot a comedy special in New York. I ran into some friends on the plane and invited them to see the show. They asked if they could bring a friend. That friend was Emma. Emma does not remember that night, and I remember everything about that night.

WHAT'S

THE NEXT BIG THING?

CC : I want to watch Tim's and Kaki's kids grow up having the same adventures, opportunities, and fun we had

growing up. I want to teach them to play sports, take music lessons, or sing. I'd like to be a part of their childhood as much as possible. I also want to win a pickleball tournament, which is my only goal right now.

TC : I hope to shoot a comedy special next year, and I hope that Chris will produce it.

CC : I'll look at a reel. I'll take a meeting.

TC: We are so thankful to Courtney and the show for allowing us to continue to pursue our dreams while we work on her show.

CC: I love that people from Kirkwood like Nikki (Glaser) and Greg (Warren), and Scott Bakula can make an impact doing exciting things. Young people need to know there are paths to follow if they want to do something that is not the typical career. Be adventurous. Tim was inspired by his dreams, which helped inspire me, as his little brother, to do big things.

TC : He gives me more credit than I deserve for all of it. But thanks, Man.
