Kevin started his life in aviation 50 years ago. For Kevin, JKE Works started out as a family hobby, and over the last 5 decades, has grown to one of the most recognizable restoration companies. His dream was to grow a family business to pass down for generations, and so far, he’s achieved that goal.
