A little bit

About the team

Optimum is founded on friendship. Kendrick Ballantyne and Ryan Lessard met on a job-site. After realizing they had shared the same hometown and high school experience, they began a series of conversations that led to the partnership they have today. This story has repeated itself to grow their company. Friends of friends, old coworkers, respected references have built an entirely organic group who don’t just talk about the value of relationship, but work together as a result of it. To them, relationship is the most real thing in the world, bringing good people together to finish great work.

The story isn’t over, more friendships will turn into partnerships, clients, subs and employees. That’s how we grow, by knowing people well.
