Joe King — CEO & Chairman

BS Management and Marketing, University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management

• My father built swimming pools and I’d ride in the cement trucks starting when I was six. At 16 I knew I wanted to be a business owner. I wanted to grow up quickly so I could catch up with my four older siblings.
• I love the personal growth I’ve experienced by the daily challenges of being in business. You never know what’s coming but you must respond. It’s about character development. I love working with other high valued individuals who excel in this type of environment—I love the people! I also like providing a place to work that I would want to be a part of. 
• I am humbled by the opportunity to enrich the lives of others daily through the environment we create, the relationships we nurture and the experience we deliver through our brand and products.

• In high school, I helped open a new K Mart, where I learned all about different departments, management and packaging. After college, I joined King as bookkeeper, and steadily grew in my career along with the company—it’s a place where my voice matters, and I could see change happen. At one time I managed four departments. 
• Joe King was a mentor to me. Now I’m mentoring the next generation, and I’m looking forward to helping continue to grow the company.
