Jim Booker has been a proud member of #teamkorellis for 33 years and continues to be a steady, trusted leader in the field. He was part of our very first commercial project at the Ford Chicago Assembly Plant and has been running work there ever since. Over the years, Jim has also contributed to projects like Whiting High School, Kensing Solutions, and the Ford Stamping Plant in Chicago Heights. His commitment to safety and doing things the right way even earned him the NWIBRT Outstanding Crafts Person Safety Award.

What really stands out about Jim, though, is who he is beyond the jobsite. He’s known for being patient, dependable, and always willing to look out for others. Customers and coworkers alike appreciate his calm approach and pride in his work. Jim doesn’t just finish a job, he makes sure it’s done to a standard he can truly stand behind.

Outside of work, Jim is a devoted family man with a loving wife, two amazing daughters, and three grandchildren he’s incredibly proud of. When he’s not roofing, you’ll likely find him fishing or in the garage, hard at work building his Harley.

What he has to say: “After all these years, it’s the people that mean the most to me. Being able to work safely, stay busy, and provide for my family while watching the company grow has been something I’m really grateful for.”

Thank you, Jim, for 33 years of dedication, leadership, and heart. We’re lucky to have you!
