About us

A design-build operator and a brand operator. Both still in the work.

Adam and Ashley have run the workflows they're teaching — from demo and trades all the way to $13.8M in revenue. Everything in the cohort is grounded in operating work at KBF.

Adam Vellequette

Adam grew up in his family's remodeling business — demo in high school, then tile, cabinetry, and framing alongside KBF's tradesmen before moving into sales and operations. In 2021, he and his sister Ashley bought the company at $5.2M in revenue; by 2025 it reached $13.8M. Every bottleneck he solved along the way became part of the Datum method.

Ashley Sheaffer

Ashley started at KBF as a receptionist straight out of college, earned her NKBA certification as a kitchen and bath designer, rose through sales management, and became co-owner alongside Adam in 2021. She knows the workflows from the ground up — which is exactly why she understands what AI should and shouldn't touch.
