Rachel Koch
Rachel handles the day to day operations and administrative duties of Summit Elevator. Born and raised in Reno, NV, Rachel is in her element in sunshine. If she is not sending out the residential elevator invoicing, or getting the paperwork together for a stair chair install, she enjoys hiking with the dogs and her boys. She believes in moving your body for optimal health. Homeschooling is something she enjoys the challenge of, and getting all the quality time with her son is priceless. Through homeschooling she became a chicken keeper and loves to hang out with the “henny hens.” She can also be found at the endless sports that her boys are involved in, either being the athlete or the coach.
Nick Koch
When not doing site visits, trouble calls, residential elevator installs, or any of the countless other tasks that come with being the owner of Summit Elevator, Nick loves to fill his time with anything outdoors. An avid golfer and PGA professional, Nick enjoys being on the course. During the summer, hiking and camping are a must for him. If he is not installing a residential elevator, he would love to be involved in whatever his kids are doing. Nick is a devoted Dad to two boys, often coaching their sports teams, and always finding a way to teach them something new.

Cameron - Mechanic
Cameron is our main mechanic that handles the installation of the residential elevators.

Sean lives life to the fullest, and does so with a smile on his face. An Air Force vet, he gets fulfillment out of helping the veteran community in the Reno Tahoe area. When he isn't installing residential elevators at Summit, he is busy working on his degree in marketing. Summit is enthralled to have such a "swiss army knife" on our team. Sean also enjoys camping and floating the river, getting together with friends and hot yoga.
Andrew - Mechanic
Andrew completed Summit's install crew. Andrew gains professional achievement by completing installs with pride in his work. He is an Army vet, and the opportunity to give back to the veteran community gives him a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
