Jackie Balint, CKD Owner

Jackie came to The Kitchen Collection in 1983 as an independent designer. In 1988 she and husband Barry became owners, turning it into a family business and are now joined by their daughter Debra.

Previously Barry was an officer in the U.S. Army and they had the privilege of living in 28 different places over 23 years.

Jackie grew up with a Dad who was an engineer but his hobby was rebuilding their house. He moved every existing wall and even the roof line. His two daughters were his helpers putting insulation in walls and straightening nails, and they thought nothing of walking around on bare floor joists.

Over the years Jackie has built The Kitchen Collection by developing strong relationships with top local contractors and filling the showroom with the finest kitchen and bath products.
