To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Clark’s Strategic Partnership Program (SPP), we’re highlighting just 15 of the 1,200+ small and diverse business owners and leaders who make up the SPP alumni network!
Meet Dan Felder, CEO of Axiom Construction Group KC , a self-perform concrete contractor based in Kansas City. While working as an educator more than a decade ago, Dan decided to pursue his interest in construction in his spare time. After successfully completing a small concrete project for Kansas City’s Housing Authority, he fell in love with the industry, and was determined by the growth potential.
Like any entrepreneur, Dan was fueled by the idea of building a company that embodies his values and creates a legacy for his family in a city where he was born and raised. In the early days, he leveraged those deep ties within the city to build a client roster and in 2016 partnered with industry veteran Vince Stephens to launch Axiom Construction. To help take the company to the next level, Daniel applied to the Kansas City Strategic Partnership program.
Today, Axiom Construction is playing a key role in delivering the Kansas City International Airport’s New Terminal – the largest single infrastructure project in the city’s history. The company has performed multiple scopes of work including new roadway construction and structural foundations for the parking garage and new terminal. They have, in aggregate, $14 million of work on the project. “Ultimately, SPP provided a more in-depth understanding of what it means to run a successful company in this industry,” he said.
Armed with a clear vision of success for Axiom’s future, Dan is equally committed to his role as a community leader, developing opportunities for others, and demonstrating a business model that inspires other local entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams.
