Meet Our Team
Owner
David Jolicoeur
Dave has been involved in home repairs and improvements, either professionally or as a hobby, for over 25 years. An avid woodworker and DIY enthusiast, if he’s not at a kids sporting event, he’s probably in his home workshop. Dave lives in Leawood with his wife Jill, their two kids Sadie and Henry and their dog Rosie.
Neighborhood Manager
Paul Foley
Paul moved to Kansas City from England several years ago with his wife, Hollie, who grew up in Overland Park. Paul has been an avid DIY'er for years but his real passion is baking. As many of our clients can attest, his white chocolate toasted pecan blondies are unbeatable, particularly with a strong cup of tea. Paul and Hollie live in Overland Park with Frank, their English Bull Terrier.
Home Manager
Alan Jolicoeur
Al, as you may have guessed by the last name, was part of the inspiration for Connect Home Management. Al's lifetime of DIY projects and fastidious home maintenance certainly rubbed off on David. Al moved to Leawood a few years ago, with his wife Denise, to be close to at least two of their 7 grandchildren. When they're not home, they're either in California, with their other 5 grandkids, or on a roadtrip to yet another national park.
Home Manager
John Ritz
John, a retired programmer, reconnected with Dave after posting pictures of the full basement finish he completed on Facebook. John is a KC native who's doing a great job staying active in retirement. If he's not working with us, you may find him golfing, volunteering with Meals on Wheels, or spending time with his wife, Kathy, and their growing collection of grandkids.
Home Manager
Kevin Legrand
Kevin moved to Leawood with his wife, Tracy , and their collection of dogs, cats, and horses from Oklahoma a few years ago to be closer to his daughter and his grandson. If he's not out at the stables with the horses, or in his huge vegetable garden, he's probably working with us... he never stops moving!
Marketing Manager
Quinn Ton
Quinn is our resident young person. She is working with us remotely all the way from Texas! When she's not teaching us how to work social media, you can usually find her painting, hanging out with her friends, family, and dog Mazzy, or fixating on her current newest hobby.
Neighborhood Outreach Director
Teresa Hilker
Teresa joined the Connect team in 2024. Prior to that, she spent 29 years as a social worker for the state of Missouri until retiring in 2019 when she began working as a real estate agent, which she still enjoys today. Teresa lives in Brookside. When she’s not helping people find a home or stay in their forever home, she enjoys playing pickleball, Mahjong, reading, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.
Neighborhood Coordinator
Tom Laux
Tom joined the Connect team following a 35-year career in the construction industry and nearly a decade of helping care for his grandchildren. Tom lives on 16 acres of land in Miami County, KS, where there is always something to fix. In his free time he enjoys woodworking, fishing with his grandson, and tackling other projects with his grandkids. (They are currently rebuilding an old aluminum boat!)
