 About Us About the Owner:
Hello. My name is Steve Konarzewski, and I am the proud owner of Squeegee Klean. I am a young entrepreneur living my version of the American dream. I was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania. During my 18 years in Scranton, I attended both public and private high schools, graduating from Bishop O’Hara High School in 2001. After high school I entered Lock Haven University, initially majoring in health sciences but later changing to business. As a teenager growing up in Scranton, I always knew I wanted to be self-employed when I entered the working world. I started cutting hair at the age of 16, and while in college I used my talents in this field to generate extra income. During my freshman year at Lock Haven, I also had the opportunity to work with a good friend and business associate who owned a window-cleaning company in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. When school was out of session, I would clean windows for my friend’s company. While school was in session I was a full-time student and part-time barber. From those experiences, I became convinced that I had what it took to be successful as an entrepreneur.
I am one of those people who believe that things happen for a reason, and fate intervened in my career during the summer of 2003 when I met my girlfriend in Ocean City, Maryland. She was born and raised in the York area and introduced me to her hometown. After summer ended and I went back to school, we were able to maintain a long-distance relationship. The following summer, I had the opportunity to do my internship with my friend’s company back in Montgomery County, I Do Windows Inc. While most people complete their internships and then return to school, I decided to take a different approach. I had learned the window-cleaning business inside and out, and I believed it was time to put my knowledge and ambition to work. In the summer of 2004 I moved to York County knowing fewer than six people in the area, and started my own window-cleaning company. At the same time, I began attending Penn State’s York campus full time. Going to school and running my business was challenging, but it was a challenge I enjoyed. After watching my company grow significantly during its first two years of operation, I was faced with an important life decision. I could either continue in school and stop building my business, or devote my full attention to Squeegee Klean. I chose the latter route, withdrawing from Penn State with only 18 credits needed to graduate. Some day, I may return to school to get my degree. In the meantime, I am grateful for this opportunity to own, manage and build a successful business.
Since making Squeegee Klean my full-time endeavor, our business
has grown tremendously. I have always been a determined person who believes that anything
is possible with perseverance and hard work. But if there is
just one thing I would like you to know about me, it is that
I enjoy making people happy. Pleasing my customers and seeing
the smiles on their faces when we leave their home or place
of business is, for me, priceless. I would like to thank all
my customers for making Squeegee Klean’s success possible.
I also would like to extend an offer to new customers to experience
the Squeegee Klean difference. I guarantee that you will be
pleased with the experience. Our Mission: Our Goal: Sincerely, |
