My name is Kevin Karpstein and I am the Director of Operations here at CoEnergy Propane.  I am going on my second year with CoEnergy Propane and couldn’t be happier due to the fact it is a local owned and operated company that cares about the community and the people we service.  I am a 4th generation Central Oregonian and a proud veteran!   I have been in Central Oregon for over 50 yrs in which 10 of those have been in the propane industry. I started out at a service tech in 2014 at a larger National Propane Provider working my way up to the Operations Manager position for the Southern and Eastern Oregon Districts.  I also found time in my busy schedule to coach baseball for almost 10 yrs and girls middle school basketball for a year.  I love giving back and helping out my local community which goes hand in hand with the work I am doing at CoEnergy Propane.  When I am not working I try to find time for hunting, fishing, and camping with my wife and 4 kids.
