Daryl D. Kraft, President and Founding Owner of Environment Control Building Maintenance Company, is a native Californian and 1965 graduate of Biola University. In 1963 he purchased a small janitorial business while still in college and subsequently incorporated it in 1970. During the next three decades, Environment Control has expanded into 55 companies in 19 states.
In addition to his ongoing responsibilities at the EC Corporate Headquarters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Daryl accepts occasional speaking engagements, presenting topics such as: Right Thinking; Criticism Is My Friend; What Is a Christian Businessman?; and If Taking My Wife Bear Hunting Isn’t Love—What Is? He is the author of two inspirational books: The Businessman’s Guide to Real Success and Knowing the God Who Chose You. A third book, Peace in the Workplace, will be released in the near future.
Whether in his writings, his nationally-distributed weekly Bible study tapes, or his day-to-day dealings with others, Daryl seeks to share one simple, liberating message: the Christian life—is the glorious peace and freedom-filled reality of experiencing Christ Himself,― growing and manifesting His life—in us.
He and his wife Sherryl make their home in Hayden, Idaho, and have four grown children and 11 grandchildren.
Environment Control has proven to be more than a financially rewarding career. It also offers the opportunity for personal growth with the encouragement to positively influence the lives of employees, customers, and vendors.

"The most obvious and appealing aspect of the introductory phase in my EC relationship was the honesty and openness that the Home Office demonstrated. This is the culture of the company, and as my relationship with them has grown; I have seen it is an integral part of the way they do business."
