Kirk Anderson, President
Kirk Anderson has spent his entire career in the material handling industry. He got his start in 1986 as a Sales Executive for Storage Equipment Company, Inc., in Dallas, TX. Upon relocating to Rochester, NY in 1990, Kirk joined the sales team at ALOI Materials Handing, Inc.("ALOI"), remaining in this familiar industry. Here, Kirk was introduced to several new product lines, and grew his base of experience with larger, more complex solutions. For six years, Kirk was a vital contributor to new business development and enjoyed a highly successful sales career.
Taking a leap of faith to relocate to Atlanta with Janelle in 1996, Kirk sought out opportunities to establish himself as an independent material handling specialist and pursue eventual small business ownership. Taking some time to get to know the Atlanta market, Kirk joined Air Specialists, Inc. of Marietta, GA, to assist them in launching their material handling division. Three years later, the opportunity to purchase McGee Equipment Company presented itself. Hamp McGee was prepared to retire and was seeking a buyer with a proven track record to keep McGee moving forward. Together, Kirk and Janelle Anderson purchased the company in 1999.
Having always enjoyed face-to-face customer interaction, Kirk is a consistent contributor to McGee's top line sales growth by personally managing several key customer accounts. His expertise, relationships and consultative approach allows him to apply the very best mix of product and talent to significant projects. Since 1999, Kirk has led the company's revenue growth to over 20 times its original size.
In 2020, Kirk became a licensed commercial General Contractor. McGee has now evolved to become a highly versatile, reputable general contractor, offering our clients the best overall solutions that their infrastructure and budget will allow. Since 2013, McGee has been a member of the Associated General Contractors of GA, Inc. (“AGC GA”).
