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.

This is my 2nd move with Gentle Giants. The team is extremely thorough, skilled and professional. The moving team was on time and prepared. They consulted with me at every step and made sure that things were the way that I wanted them to be, especially at the end site. I had to pack in a very tight timeframe and didn't get as much done in 2 closets as I had hoped. I was moving close by so figured I would get it done. The team lead told me he went ahead and packed the closets for me. I almost cried from relief. They really went above and beyond in my opinion. Erick, Gabe and Kevin were amazing and made sure to take great care of my items and alerted me to possible issues with some of my furniture as far as wear and tear that could become a problem. This move was basically seamless for me and it was all because they made sure it would be. The quote was accurate and there were no surprises. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

We used Gentle Giant for the 4th time since my daughter has lived in DC. The first two were from one apartment to another, next was to move her stuff into their storage facility and this most recent time to move it from storage to her new place.. I cannot say enough good things about this company. Everything is so easy!! From initiating the paperwork to the follow up. Everyone I dealt with including the movers were friendly and so helpful!! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Gentle Giant delivered the smoothest move of my life — and that’s saying a lot, since I’m in my 70s. Javier, Erick, Octavian and Kevin labored seamlessly for nine hours to move me from a six-bedroom to 4-bedroom home — carefully prepping by laying down plastic and wrapping furniture and later patiently placing items until they were perfectly situated. They were a joy to work with for nine hours. I also credit GG with sending out Kieffer to give a detailed, very fair estimate and figuring out the most efficient way of handling some of my hard to move items. Other companies worked off online checklists, and it’s easy to forget items or really know your needs. I give GG my highest recommendation.

This is our second time using Gentle Giant for our move, and just like last time, everything was exceptional. The movers were extremely efficient, kind, helpful, and made moving, feel easy. We drove across state lines for this move, and they got to our place quickly.The team (Karun, Kevin, Mohammed and Frankie were fantastic and their vibes helped keep the move, which can be very stressful, upbeat and fun believe it or not. 11/10!!!!!would recommend!!!!!!!

We had a great experience with Gentle Giant Moving Co! The team was kind, efficient, and professional, and they took great care with all of our belongings. They also supported us in the weeks leading up to the move with materials, packing advice, and clear communication throughout the whole process. We’re so grateful and will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!

I cannot be more happy with my experience with Gentle Giant.Paul & Erick took careful note of the inventory, formulated a plan, and executed with precision. They engaged extremely professionally and I don't think I ever heard them so much as complain.Anyone can hire big movers who can lift heavy stuff, but I felt Paul & Erick used critical thinking to maneuver the inventory, sometimes even disassembling and reassembling massive pieces of furniture extremely quickly to get through tight corridors, and taking extreme precaution.But keep in mind, this is a premium service. I find moving to be a rather stressful experience and would rather pay someone for their services to alleviate that stress, and in this case Gentle Giant absolutely delivered.I will be recommending Gentle Giant to family & friends and also using them for future moves.

Outstanding, hardworking, and courteous staff make any business better, and the folks at Gentle Giant really have that down. They're pricier, but you definitely get what you're paying for with this moving company. I've used them twice, over a decade apart, and I couldn't be more pleased with their packing and moving and setting up services.

We had an amazing experience with Gentle Giant Moving Company. The team worked unbelievably hard the entire time, lifting heavy furniture, navigating tight spaces, and doing it all with a positive attitude. They were not only strong and efficient, but also thoughtful and careful with our belongings. Honestly, they made one of the most stressful days feel easy. We were so impressed and grateful for their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!

My crew was coordinated, careful, and fast, accomplishing the move hours below the top of the time estimate for my small, short distance residential move - despite my inability to get a loading dock open for most of an hour. While the price was a bit high, I found it was well worth it.
