Scott Bowman

Scott founded Bowman Painting in 2006 after spending 10 years in the public relations industry. A native of California, Bowman was graduated from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1995 with a B.A. degree in Communications. After one year at Cal State University Dominguez Hills, Bowman spent the next four years (1996-2000) as the Sports Information Director at Concordia University in Irvine, Calif.

Bowman moved to Florida in August of 2000 after accepting a job in media relations with NASCAR. Bowman spent the next five years promoting NASCAR and its drivers and teams while touring the racing circuit. During his time working in media relations, he won multiple awards for publications.

Always with an eye for detail, Bowman began his own business in new construction doing painting and carpentry for Nielsen Construction, a home builder in Daytona Beach, Fla. With the aid of a strong work ethic, a personable nature and a desire to service the client, Bowman has since expanded his business into residential repaints and all phases of commercial painting.

Married in 1997 to Lynette K. Sosa, the Bowman's have two sons, Kyle and Cole. Lynette is an upper grade teacher at Riverbend Academy in Ormond Beach. Bowman is active in membership at Riverbend Community Church and enjoys playing sports and coaching basketball in his spare time.

Calvin Kwekel

Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Calvin began learning the construction business at age 14 while working for his family's business. After spending his formative years learning various trades, he began a 20-year venture with his own painting business, Kwekel & Associates, a residential painting, wall-covering and restoration company.

Calvin spent years perfecting his craft whether it was interior or exterior coatings, staining, lacquer, cabinet refinishing and even home restoration. Kwekel built his business on customer satisfaction and quality work. In 2007, Calvin took his talents to Eckoff & De Vries, a commercial painting contractor in central Michigan. Calvin served as a job foreman overseeing paint crews on high end commercial projects.

Calvin joined Bowman Painting in January of 2010 after moving his family to Florida. He married his wife Megan in 1995. The couple have five children; Josh, Shannon, Stephen, Caleb and Daniel. The Kwekel crew enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities including camping, fishing, boating and sports.

"Calvin is a fantastic addition to our team," said owner Scott Bowman. "His understanding of job process and his ability to manage our crews is extremely valuable to our company. His attention to detail on the job and ability to please our clients continues to provide our customers with the satisfaction and service we have become known for."

Kelly Stevenson

Kelly joined Bowman Painting in 2010. Born in Wheat Ridge, Colo., outside of Denver, Kelly moved to Ormond Beach when he was eight. He is a graduate of Seabreeze High School (`91).

Kelly began his painting career in 1994 for well know Daytona area painting contractor King Painting. He honed his skills for various painting contractors over the past 17 years. Kelly is passionate about restoration projects, turning something in great need of TLC into a sparkling gem. In addition to his general painting skills, he also enjoys wood faux and gel stains.

Kelly is an avid fisherman in his spare time and loves the outdoors, gardening and birds. He continues to reside in Ormond Beach and has one son, Andrew.

"Kelly is professional. Works neat, clean, conscientious and has a great personality," said owner Scott Bowman. "We are grateful to have him working with us."
