Ken McGee
Formerly with the Consulting Engineering Firm of Henry von Oesen and Associates, Ken McGee founded McGee Cadd Reprographics and Printing Equipment in 1982. With the objective of eliminating the redundant drafting in design (before cadd) Ken discovered that he could produce redundant drawing detail of previous design work using process cameras and photographic emulsions on drafting film. Many techniques were developed eliminating office drafting hours saving significant dollars and expediting project design faster. This was the beginning and still today McGee Cadd seeks to develop new technologies, equipment and software providing solutions to customers saving time and treasury. 40 plus years with great customers and a team second to none. The best is yet to come.
Ken is president and CEO of the corporation.
