KGa Welcomes Senior Project Manager, Naumann Dowdy & Estimator, Kostiantyn Leonov

Under the direction of seasoned veteran, Ray Buchheister, the Building Envelope team specializes in multi-story curtainwalls, unitized curtainwalls and metal panel systems.

KGa Adds Senior Project Manager, Naumann Dowdy

In October of 2019, KGa welcomed Naumann Dowdy, Senior Project Manager for the KGa Building Envelope Team. Getting his start in the glazing industry in 1999, Naumann began as a Draftsman doing shop drawings by hand.

He shares “I am most excited about joining KGa [because of] the team approach to managing projects.” Despite his excitement, he does anticipate some challenges in his new role including “learning the many KGa methods and procedures for managing projects” but the Building Envelope team is confident he will be an asset as the department continues to thrive.
