Kevin Warren- Boiler Technician, Keller Manufacturing

February 28, 2026 11:29 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)
  1. How long have you been a BAMA member? As a referral from Krista Brown, we joined BAMA in 2023 after visiting as her guest to several events (we especially love the craft breweries and distilleries tours:-) 
  2. What do you like most about being a BAMA member? In addition to the tours, we love serving on the Membership Committee and sponsoring the Kelly Murphy Memorial, where we meet lots of great manufacturers and industry professionals throughout Greater Tampa Bay.
  3. Tell us about your company. From Lakeland, FL, Keller Manufacturing has a 60-year history of manufacturing and servicing industry equipment worldwide. Keller provides waste incineration and cremation equipment, and EEE has provided them with their state-of-the-art SELAS burners. Our SELAS Heat Technology Senior Manager joined us at the BAMA tour of Tampa Bay Brewing Company, where he met many great BAMA members.
  4. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment to date? After serving as a US Navy Chief Boiler Technician (BTC) for 23 years, our Boilerman returned home to Lakeland where he began EEE in 2005. Becoming a successful entrepreneur ("making steam" for manufacturers and end users) for over 20 years has been a great accomplishment in addition to his retiring from a successful Naval career.
  5. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? Kevin's best piece of advice is his mantra: Integrity is everything. From the Latin integritas, integrity means consistency and honesty in all things, with self and others. Integrity marks Kevin's reputation in professional relationships as well as personal ones.
  6. What is the most important skill you have developed in your career? Kevin has incredibly strong problem-solving skills. His closest colleagues refer to him as the "MacGyver" of steam boilers, burners and combustion controls. And yes, he always has a Swiss Army Knife, duct tape and zip ties with him.
  7. What are your hobbies or interests? The Boiler Man's hobby and happy place is his Alabama hunting camp: a compound of cabins near Eufaula in "The Community of Great Hope." There, Kevin built Mico Cuko Eco-cee (Chief's Home of many Deer), where he hosts annual Navy reunions for his fellow BT's and Machinist's Mates (MM). 50+ retired service members re-connect with each other and share stories of serving together on the USS Belleau Wood ("Devil Dog") and the USS Nashville.
