Men of Success 2025 – Ian Kaneshige

Ian Kaneshige
Kevco Builders
Ian Kaneshige believes great construction starts with great relationships. Since 2023 under his leadership, the Lake County-based company continues its decades-long reputation as a trusted, award-winning custom home builder. “We’ve always considered ourselves a people business first,” Ian says. “We just happen to build homes.” Kevco’s four-step process emphasizes collaboration from the start, including a hands-on approach that keeps clients informed every step of the way. While attention to detail and customer satisfaction remain at the core, Ian is equally proud of the company’s deeper purpose of giving back. Through the MIKE Endowment and Habitat for Humanity Lake County, Kevco supports local communities and their families. “It’s a great experience for the company, but it’s also deeply meaningful for the local families we support,” Ian says. “Being able to contribute in this way, from the heart, is incredibly important to us.”
