Kevin Grove, Sacramento Environmental Group Manager
Interviewer: Hi Kevin! Can you tell me a little about where you are from. Where is your hometown and where did you go to school?
Kevin: I was born and raised in Gilroy, California. (Garlic Capital of the World!) I attended UC Davis and received a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Policy Analysis and Planning and minored in Managerial Economics. I also played on the NCAA baseball team while I attended UC Davis.
Interviewer: How long have you worked for BSK and what do you do for the organization?
Kevin: This is my 12th year with BSK, and I am the Sacramento Environmental Group Manager.
Interviewer: What do you enjoy most about your job?
Kevin: I love the variety of projects that we work on, the people we work with, and seeing a blank piece of land turn into something because of the work we do.
Interviewer: Can you tell us your favorite on the job story?
Kevin: I do the bulk of the Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) for BSK. One of the Phase I ESAs from 2018 was a vacant lot in Sacramento. This vacant lot eventually turned into a rehabilitation hospital that housed both my grandmother and my father when they were recovering from major surgeries. When I went to visit them, I was blown away that the work we completed turned into something that was finally tangible.
Interviewer: Thank you so much for answering all these questions today. Can we leave off by you relaying some fun facts about yourself?
Kevin: I am a father of 2 wonderful boys, Fortunato (Forty) and Brooks. Forty is 2 and Brooks is 5 months. I have an amazing wife, Samantha, who is the attending veterinarian at Charles River Laboratory where she treats and works with monkeys. Lastly, I am an avid golfer so please reach out if you need me for a golf tournament!
