We had the good fortune of connecting with Jase Kaser and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jase, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I get antsy when things are too smooth. It’s a sign that I’m not pushing myself enough. I was very young when I started at Kaser, which was a risk in and of itself – I had to learn a lot very fast, about the industry, our processes, and how to manage people. That’s the kind of challenge I enjoy. As we continue to grow, I’m constantly gambling on what I think our next step will be, and then orienting myself in that direction. That’s the kind of risk that typically pays off.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Kaser Blasting & Coatings offers abrasive blasting, high-performance liquid painting, and powder coating services in Nebraska and beyond. We operate out of two large buildings, totaling 22,000 square feet. The larger of our two ovens is 14’ wide x 12’ tall x 30’ long, allowing us to powder coat large parts (often for agricultural applications). But what I think sets us apart the most is our commitment to surface preparation and pretreatment. We know that those processes are the key to coating quality and longevity. That’s what keeps our customers coming back.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Lincoln, NE is home for me. I would take my guests to a Husker game at Memorial Stadium, followed by a stroll around the historic Haymarket district, a meal at Lazlo’s Brewery, and ice cream at Ivanna Cone.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shortly before their wedding day in 1987, my parents put up their grey Honda Prelude as collateral, took out a small business loan, and ventured into the business of residential painting. Kaser Painting, Inc, was born. Without their hard work, there would be nothing for me to manage; and without their mentorship, I wouldn’t know how.
