Our Team

Nels KlewinEstimator/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)

Michael E Gerber defines the entrepreneurial seizure as “the moment the entrepreneur decides it would be a great idea to start his or her own business”.  Being the youngest of 4 children, I was blessed with the “enhanced ability” to let my imagination run wild from a young age and still be able to get away with it being considered “cute”.  Whether it was dreaming up a way to start a sanding business in my dad’s cabinet shop, a snow-plow business with my bicycle or any of the other businesses I dreamed up over the years, I think it fairly safe to consider myself an “entrepreneurial junky”!  I was born and raised in Dayton, OH; spent some time in Indiana before moving to the beautiful (but windy) Kittitas valley in 2000. My plan was to enroll in CWU in Ellensburg as an architect and continue the legacy of fine construction that my dad passed on to me…and then I met the most beautiful young lady that forever changed the course of history for this wandering entrepreneur!

I married my “first love” Judy in 2003, we lived in Ellensburg for 6 months after marriage and then moved to Zillah to assist in a church plant there.  Through the course of time, I was blessed to experience many business ventures all leading to the restoration industry, of which I started and operated a restoration business around the same time that Clean Image Services entered the Restoration world.

My wife and I live in sunny (AND WARM) Phoenix metro and are blessed with 4 beautiful daughters that bring us so much joy…and a few gray hairs.  We are involved in our local church here and are passionate about being the “hands and feet” of Jesus, specifically in the area of marriage and parenting.  (This ol’ boy needs plenty of help in those areas!) We look forward to celebrating 17 years of marriage this year, it brings me so much joy to be able to minister to others in times of need or distress…knowing that we have HOPE even in the midst of trial.

It is with great joy and anticipation that I am able to be a part of the Clean Image Team as we serve our clients to bring them the most amazing customer experience ever!  I serve in the Water Mitigation Department, focusing mainly on File Management and Water Mitigation Invoicing.

I am always thrilled to work alongside a client to navigate what is often a hectic situation to attempt to bring a sense of clarity and calm in this industry that we are a part of.  You can reach me on my cell (509) 899-9261 or sending me an email @ rod@cleanandrestore.info.

“Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the HOPE that is in you with meekness and fear”

–1 Peter 3:15

I’m Aaron and I live with two medium to large size dogs. I like woodworking and carving, going fast, and being in the shade on a hot day.

Erin and I have grown up in the Yakima Valley. We love raising our children here also. The proximity to the mountains, Lakes and rivers are one of the major reasons for this. In our spare time we enjoy spending time with our family doing runs and swimming.

I am an avid runner with the aspirations of running my first marathon next year. One of the great joys in my life is being involved with our local church where I serve in the worship team and children’s ministry.

I currently hold IICRC certifications in Water restoration and Applied structure drying. Along with the OSHA training in mold remediation and prevention. I have been in the construction industry for almost 25 yrs. I started with a local contractor building custom homes and remolding many homes around the valley. I started in the restoration part of the industry 7 yrs ago and have enjoyed helping families get their homes back in order.

I look forward to helping you get your home restored. I can be reached at rob@cleanandrestore.info or by calling the office.

I moved to Ellensburg in August of 2016 with my wife Brittney, so she could finish her Theater Degree at Central Washington University. Upon her completion, we found that we truly love living here in Ellensburg.

In my spare time, I love to spend time outdoors when I can. Brittney and I love camping and spending time in our garden working together.

If you don’t find me outside, I’m usually either playing music or hanging out with my animals at home. With two cats, two ferrets, and a fish tank beaming with life there’s never a dull moment around my household.

I love playing a part in the restoration industry. I find great satisfaction in helping people out through difficult times. I know without a doubt that the Clean Image family is the best and most trustworthy company for you to choose in helping you get your life back to a pre-loss condition.
