The creation of Kinsmen Electric began in the winter of 2016, when a young man moved to Somerset, Pa from Virginia with his wife and newborn son.  Knowing practically nothing of the electrical industry, but desperately in need of a job to support his family, Aaron accepted a position at Krause Electric and Refrigeration as an electrical technician under his brother-in-law, Devin. “That first winter in the industry was brutal. We were put on a housing development with no heat and the first months as an electrician I couldn't feel my feet because they froze each day from the cold.” However, the cold working conditions didn’t temper Aaron’s ambition. What he lacked in knowledge, he made up for in massive action and hard work, at times to the ridicule of his coworkers. Over the course of the next couple of years, Aaron quickly rose through the ranks until he eventually took leadership of projects on his own. “I am a firm believer that life doesn’t happen to you, it happens because of you.” This belief that it was his ethical responsibility to pursue excellence in all he did for the benefit of his employer, customers, and ultimately his family would take him from cabin boy, to captain of the ship.
