Whether we are in our own backyard or in towns farther away, building is our business, building a community is our culture.”

Ken said that it is important for business to give back to the community. For Ken, that stewardship was taught through the actions of his father, Henry Funk.

“Our dad was always giving back to the communities where our company had projects or where our associates and subcontractors lived and raised families. Whether it was time, materials, sweat equity, or financial assistance, dad volunteered to build what was needed in a community. His philanthropy extended to projects like camps for children or mission trips to build a hospital,” Ken said. “This philosophy permeates throughout our company today. As you travel through your community, look for us and know that our principles to better the places we live is a distinction that makes us unique.”

Funk has volunteered with many organizations and recently joined the board of the Association of Builders and Contractors Keystone Chapter.
