THE GUYS

Eric Kenny has been immersed in the fire protection and sprinkler industry his entire life as the son of Oliver and Irmgard Kenny. He began helping his father at just 12 years old—often tagging along on weekends with his bike in tow, so Oliver could focus on growing the business while keeping an eye on his young son. Thankfully he managed to become helpful at some point, and has been working either full time or weekends for his family most of his life.

After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, Eric worked a few odd jobs before joining the family business full-time. Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the company relocated to Nevada. Being raised in Southern California, Eric stayed behind for a couple of years before moving to join his parents.

Since then, he has worked tirelessly on job sites, contributed to the company’s expansion, and helped solidify its strong reputation for quality and reliability. In January 2025, Eric officially took over leadership of the company, carrying forward the legacy built by his parents over four decades.
