MIAMI — Teaching was Tim Kanak’s life until he took a summer job five years ago at Miami-based Perkins Roofing Corp. — a gig that turned into an unexpected second career.
Since then, Kanak, 31, has become vice president of Perkins Roofing and overseen changes that have helped revenue grow about 40 percent annually: from about $500,000 in 2014 to a projected $5 million in 2019.
