founder, The Kaufman Fund Helping Veterans
Wayne Kaufman was also inducted into the Missouri Veterans Hall of Fame in
2024.
Wayne Kaufman, Vice President of sales Home Remodeling, has been in the
home improvement industry since 1971, but you have to go farther back than that
to understand what really drives him.
A decorated Vietnam Veteran, Wayne served as a sergeant with distinction with
the 25th Infantry Division in the U.S. Army earning the Bronze Star and Bronze
Star with Oak Leaf Cluster for his bravery and leadership.
However, his contributions didn’t end when he left the battlefield. In 1990, he
founded The Kaufman Fund in memory of his late brother Ralph, an Air Force
Veteran and St. Louis area philanthropist.
