Washington DC Regional Manager
Andre Eilers is Gentle Giant's Washington DC Regional Manager. He began his career with Gentle Giant back in 2012 when he moved to the US from his home country of Germany, and he has been with the company ever since, quickly progresses from mover to manager. His favorite things about working for GG include the ability to see different places and meet different people everyday, the physical aspect of the work, and 'the feeling of reward you get after a hard day of work.'

Andre credits his time at Gentle Giant with learning how to improvise and adapt to any given situation at any time on a move. 'Every day is different, and no two moves are the same. Each move presents its own set of challenges. I have learned to improvise and think on my toes to get the job done quickly and efficiently for our customers over the years.'

A graduate of the University of Bonn in Germany, Andre has a master's degree in Sociology, Philosophy, and Political Science. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, reading, writing, and collecting records. He also loves to work out and he is a very familiar face at the Gentle Giant DC warehouse gym where many Giants gather to workout together in the mornings and evenings.

Branch Manager
When Kieffer started with Gentle Giant’s DC office, he quickly established himself as a leader. As a lifelong basketball player, he was prepared for the hustle, teamwork and focus expected of a Giant. Now a manager, Kieffer thinks of himself more as a coach, working with new Giants to help them reach top performance.

As is the case in every regional Gentle Giant office, Kieffer and his team preach and live a healthy lifestyle. This is probably why several of our locations have repeatedly been recognized as a Healthiest Employer, including DC in 2020.

Outside of work, Kieffer enjoys traveling, playing basketball and working out with his fellow Giants. You'll often find him in the DC warehouse gym bright and early before a move as he loves the fun competitive nature that exists when working out with his colleagues.

Working with Gentle Giants was the least stressful part of our move. Great communication leading up to move and the crew took great care of our stuff. Plus everyone was super nice! We’ll definitely be using them moving forward and be recommending them to all our friends.

Review (2025 move): I've hired Gentle Giant Moving Company three times now, and they never disappoint. In fact, they consistently hire professional but friendly people who genuinely enjoy interacting with customers, their co-workers, and turning a stressful move into an enjoyable and efficient one. Thank you, Dex, Riley, Daniel, and Jas for the FUN day. And thank you Kieffer and Dominique for facilitating the logistics.Review (2020 move): A+ service! I've relocated several times in my life and Gentle Giant made my recent move the most positive experience I've ever had from beginning to end. During the order phase, Matt C., saved my sanity when my building manager called me late on a Friday before Labor Day weekend to say I couldn't move on Monday. Matt responded while on vacation to help me move my moving date. The crew - Dexter, Tyrone, and Dakarai - were professional, upbeat, and FAST. They moved us from DC to MD (2 hours away) within five hours and all of our belongings are in great shape. Furthermore, Dakarai, Dex, and Tyrone removed any guessing and stress by volunteering status updates. Truly, the best moving experience ever. We hope to work with them again.

This is the third time I have used this moving company. Moving generally stresses me but each time the crews have exceeded my expectations with handling / prepping my belongings and providing a calming experience. And they are magicians at spacial awareness filling storage units!!!! I highly recommend this company.

The gentlemen were incredibly professional. We appreciated the approach of surveying what was moving and what was remaining, and also on arrival to new home. I appreciated the senior veterans of the group who spoke up and gave good corrective feedback in realtime and taught the less seasoned members of the team. They were all very respectful of our new space- taking off shoes etc to enter carpeted areas. They worked hard and efficiently, and cleaned as they went. They worked well together as a team, with positive energy and communication. They listened to each other and helped each other out. We could not have been happier with our move, and nothing is broken!

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Gentle Giant from the booking experience to the move into storage. My expectations were far exceeded by the courtesy and professionalism of the Gentle Giant team assigned to my move. The pack and prep team arrived on time, introduced themselves and with great care packed my belongings. I would like to mention the crew chief Paul, and Eric for an outstanding job ensuring that everything was wrapped, boxed and catalogued expertly, affording me great confidence that there would be no damage or loss of items. On day two, the team arrived on time with the same high level of energy, professionalism and courtesy. It was so obvious to me that your employees are extremely well trained to handle everything from small valuable items to large heavy pieces. Each item was given careful attention. I would like to mention the crew chief Karun for his tireless effort to keep the move on schedule, expertly catalogued and insured with great attention to detail that the move out was complete. I have great confidence in Gentle Giant teams and look forward to the move out of storage in to my new house when the schedule permits.

Armi and his team did an incredible job! The team arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and handled all of our belongings with great care. We have kids and are a working family. The team worked non stop for 14hs straight! To make sure our kids beds were assembled so they could sleep in our new house comfortably. They wrapped furniture securely, carefully packed fragile items, and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it. They were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the process stress-free. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction really stood out. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy moving service.
