Chris Katkish

Director of Operations

Insite Builders, Bethesda, Md.

Age 23

2015 Revenue: $2.1 million

Best practice: InSite works with 40 to 50 subs, and there’s a wide range of ability when it comes to using technology.

Some were nearing retirement and had little interest in learning a new way of doing business. Chris knew he had to change that mindset. First, he provided a concrete example of how the technology could help, selecting something simple that subs could immediately incorporate into their companies. Once he had their interest and buy-in, he began the actual training process.
