Todd Shives got his start as a contractor and cabinet manufacturer after high school, when he joined Creative Builders and Supply, Inc., in Lake Placid, Florida. Beginning as an apprentice, he gained experience with all aspects of residential construction and installation. He later served as Production Manager, a role that required him to confirm dimensions in the field, obtain materials, and oversee cabinetmakers' work on custom projects.

After nine years with the firm, Todd Shives parlayed his experience into a position with Elite Kitchens, Inc., a Downsview Kitchens studio, where he acted as General Manager. In this new role, he honed his skills in scheduling, sales, cost analysis, and showroom management. Mr. Shives later joined Tradewind Designs, Inc., in the capacity of Sales Designer and Partner. For the Naples, Florida-based establishment, he supervised an array of projects and drew up plans for kitchens and bathrooms using state-of-the-art software.

Today, at Kitchen Traditions of Colorado, Todd Shives offers homeowners traditional and contemporary designs for indoor and outdoor kitchens. In addition, he remains adept at designing cabinets for wet bars, offices, and living rooms. His website, KitchenTraditionsOfColorado.com, also features an extensive bathroom portfolio.
