Meet Dennis from Kokua Roofing Services!

Learn how Dennis goes above and beyond in both his personal and professional life.

Debora Letelier, the operations manager at Kokua Roofing Service, nominated one of the team's service managers, Dennis Ibanez, for the AAR Contractor Spotlight! Here's what they shared:

What inspired you to nominate this person?

Dennis has seven children and three grandkids (with one on the way), he is as busy as a family man could be, yet he finds the time to step up when the company asks him to. He has taught many of the new guys to be roofers, and is very proud that one of them has become a foreman on his own within the company. Dennis is a reliable person, and the reviews speak on their own when customers tell us about their interactions with him.

How does this person go above and beyond for their customers and/or their community?

In spite of being so busy, Dennis finds the time to help out with his son's team, Keaau futbol, where he cooks, gives people rides and is ready for whatever comes his way. In the past, he played the Tahitian drums for his daughter's Tahitian halau (Hula school). Nowadays, you will find him working on weekends for customers that work during weekdays, or repairing a roof when pressed by weather.

What else would you like to share about the person you're nominating?

Dennis came to us with some rough edges and has learned to be a team player, works well with others and is great with customers. He has a great sense of humor that carries on to his crew making each work day, a fun one.
