Get ready for a rewarding career

Art French started in multifamily housing in 1982, and has been with the Leinbach Company for nearly 20 years.  When Art joined the Leinbach team, he was hired as Lead Maintenance for the Yacht Club in Tulsa, OK, but he was promoted to Maintenance Supervisor for the company just two years later due to his work ethic and technical ability.  Although he came to Leinbach Company with his HVAC license, Art has made continuing education a priority, and he earned his Oklahoma Contractors license in 2003 and Kentucky Contractors license in 2016.

Art is a proud grandfather and father. He has a son still at home, and two grown sons with families of their own.  He has two grandsons and another is one the way!  Neal French, Art’s  middle son, followed his father into the business and is Maintenance Supervisor at Crown Village at Elm Ridge.

Art has not only been recognized as Leinbach Man of the year, he has also been nominated and has won Corporate Maintenance Man of the Year twice through the Tulsa Apartment Association.  Art is the go-to resource for the Leinbach on-site management teams and corporate managers when maintenance or property questions arise.  You can always count on Art to lend a hand, and he encourages, teaches, corrects, and assists the maintenance teams in his care. He will diagnose an HVAC, pick up trash, replace a toilet, or even and even wake up at 4:00am to run the snow plow if it is needed.  As Art says, “You can’t say, ‘That’s not my job!  It’s all our job.’”
