Adam Vellequette is one of two principals of the second generation of leadership at KBF Design Gallery, located in Maitland, Florida. KBF is a full-service interior design and remodeling company that has been consistently identified as one of the top 500 remodeling firms in the nation by Qualified Remodeler. The Qualified Remodeler Top 500 award remains the leading benchmark of growth and success among remodeling firms since 1978. The firm has also been awarded the Best of Houzz for the last three years.
Adam always worked in the family business while growing up but his prior intention was to build a different career. To this end, Adam received his Bachelor of Philosophy from UCF intending to embark on a law degree thereafter. After working his way up at KBF though, he decided that he was more passionate about the family business and that is when he stepped into his role as principal at KBF.
Listeners may remember that Adam’s father, Keith Vellequette appeared on the show back in November of 2019. Keith and his wife, Melissa, positioned both of their children for the option of taking on the business, never knowing for sure if that would happen. After taking on leadership positions, Adam and his sister, Ashley Sheaffer, worked together to implement new systems in the business as its growth doubled in 2017. They had taken over the family business once the pandemic struck and managed to steer the ship through the troubled waters of this period while also successfully moving the showroom from its prior location in Altamonte Springs to Maitland, Florida.
