Beginning as an Architectural assistant shortly after graduating from high school in Nassau, he assisted many Bahamian Architects in the development of various projects throughout the Bahamas while completing a degree in Architecture from the College of the Bahamas. With a desire to broaden his knowledge he went abroad and continued his education receiving a Bachelors of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Tuskegee University and a Master’s degree in Architectural Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University where much of his focus was concentrated on improving construction productivity and the impact of incorporating sustainable components into the overall Architectural design.

Subsequent to completing his graduate degree, Kymenski served as Project Manager for a private Florida based custom builder and then as a Sr. Project Manager and Land Development Project Manager for one of the largest production builders in America, closing just over 51,000 homes in 2005.
