Nels Klewin
Estimator/Safety Director
Born in the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, Nels has enjoyed living most of his life in central WA – and loves it! Growing up second of nine children brought life lessons including adaptability, responsibility, and good PR! Nels is grateful for Christian parents who invested much in his development.
He began violin lessons before age seven and continued through his junior year in high school, joining the Central Washington Youth Orchestra for four years. After completing high school, he spent a year in Peru, SA working with a church planting effort–a growing experience through language and cultural exposure as well.
Working in his father’s hardwood floor business was a major part of growing up. Home education allowed for working part-time during high school, continuing full-time after graduating in ’05. Nels received training through the National Wood Flooring Association in both installation and sanding and finishing. Those skills helped open opportunity when the summer of 2010 grew full for Clean Image Services. Nels began part-time work in June, which soon became a full and even over-time job!
Nels initially worked on the cleaning side of CIS for several years, and enjoyed hands-on exposure to everything from cleaning carpet and windows to HVAC systems. His responsibilities more recently included managing restoration projects and getting out on emergency water calls! Nels received training through the IICRC (www.certifiedcleaners.org) and continues to pursue excellence in the cleaning and restoration industry. In 2011, he completed his AMRT (Applied Microbial Restoration Technician), and continued his certifications with WRT/ASD (Water Damage Restoration Technician/Applied Structural Drying) in 2012. He enjoys the challenge of new situations and the satisfaction of a job well-done. He especially is gratified to see order out of chaos as a home is restored after a catastrophe! His conscientious approach puts customers at ease even in the most unideal circumstances. His current task is putting together health and safety programs for the various aspects of the company as it expands.
He and his wife, Jessica, were married in 2010 and have been blessed with three sons and a daughter. Their goal is raising a family that will honor Jesus Christ! They are thankful to have local family and enjoy time together. Nels enjoys reading, family walks, climbing, and making music.
At work and in all of life, Nels desires to live out the following Bible verse: “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17)
