Carbine’s Kim Dykes was joined by her father, retired Army Colonel Tom Feuerborn at Franklin Tomorrow’s awards night.

Company president James Carbine said the award is a great honor for the entire team and Kim who organized the efforts of so many subcontractors, vendors and designers from four different states.

“I am so proud of our entire Carbine team including Kim who went above and beyond in making the House for Hope possible. She’s the woman behind the curtain making it all happen. Kim is a top shelf person and integral to the entire operation. We could not do it without her. If she’s doing a project, it gets done right,” Carbine said.

Working with the Carbine team for the past 30 years, Kim has been also worked with many of the contractors and subcontractors for that long as well.  “It speaks so highly of her relationships and respect in the home building industry that so many eagerly signed on to help once again,” Carbine added.
