No Grinch Here at KNA – Holiday Treats All Around

By Larry Kaprielian – January 15, 2019

“Not a creature was stirring” except for all the mice at KNA who were busy preparing for the many holiday festivities to round out a great year.

BIM/CAD Renderings Are Optional

We kicked off the holiday season with a fun-filled pizza party and gingerbread house-building competition. With six teams competing for bragging rights, each group received a gingerbread kit at the noon hour to work on their houses. Ben and Travis went entirely rogue, with a two-story structural design. Joey Mao went his own way, too, and worked on his house off-site. The group results took on the look of an actual elf-inspired housing development. Delicious! The voting was secret and not challenged by anyone, with the winning team of Jason Smith, Tim Hulme and Sanaa Anini. Well done.

Wrapping up a Record Year

It’s been an unspoken rule that during our annual holiday dinners that we don’t talk shop. Yet, everyone knew it was a record year for KNA—with a greater number of projects and a record number of new staff added to our talented team.

Cocktails and delicious appetizers kicked off the evening at Antonello Ristorante followed by the restaurant serving a special “family-style” dinner to employees, spouses or partners. We enjoyed great food and conversation with family, friends and colleagues along with heartfelt gratitude for all of our blessings.
