About Washington DC

Washington, D.C., the capital city of the U.S., is named after the nation’s first president and one of its four Founding Fathers, George Washington. It is one of the most important political capitals of the world and three branches of the U.S. federal government are centered in the district: Congress, the legislative arm of the government, presides in the U.S. Capitol Building. Meanwhile, the president (executive) and the Supreme Court (judicial) sit in the White House and the Supreme Court Building respectively. Given its political significance it is no surprise that Gentle Giant moves copious aspiring politicians, public servants, journalists, and many more to the nation’s capital every year.

Aside from its historical and political significance, Washington is also brimming with culture. The city was designated a national center for the arts due to its wide selection of art institutions. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is home to the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington National opera, and the Washington Ballet. There are also a plethora of museums and galleries for visitors and residents alike to tour. The Smithsonian Institution is the world’s largest museum complex and includes the National Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery. Meanwhile, the historic Ford’s Theatre, site of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, functions as a performance space as well as a museum.

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.

One of the best moving experiences we have ever had. Having moved every year for the last 7 years we have used a variety of services, but Gentle Giants was stellar. We used a pod and they helped to move our stuff from the pod to our apartment quickly and efficiently. Will definitely be using their services again when we move the next time. Highly recommend using this service!!!!

Every single moment of my experience with Gentle Giant was superb. Within minutes of requesting an estimate I got a phone call from a patient and friendly professional who took time to attentively listen to details of my move. He asked all the right questions and helped me feel confident before moving day. Zach and Nik, the two men who worked with me on the day I moved, were so wonderful. They were extremely kind and efficient, went above and beyond to be friendly, and took great care of my stuff. I can’t recommend Gentle Giant enough. They were truly excellent and made what could have been a very stressful day a seamless one.

This was my second time moving with Gentle Giant. They are incredibly professional, all the way from the rep you book through, to your move coordinator, down to the movers themselves (in my case Conor and Leon). I moved two years ago and the gentleman I spoke with remembered me from my last move. Billing is transparent and reasonably priced, they are on time, and they take care to treat your items well during the move. Anyone considering them should feel confident they will have a good experience with Gentle Giant.

Scheduling was very easy, no surprise charges. I was moving from a big box apartment on a busy street to a house on an even busier street and the movers handled the weird parking situations fantastically. No complaints and moved everything safely and quickly. I'd highly rec.

I could not have had a better moving experience than I did with Gentle Giant. Lukas, Nicolae, and Kestutis were unbelievably thorough and professional. The very best crew I have ever experienced and they are excellent ambassadors for Gentle Giant. I have moved many times in my life and this move was simply terrific.

We worked with Gentle Giant for a small office move. Everything, from the quote, to coordinating the day-of details, to the move out and in, was flawless. The team knew more about commercial moves than we did, and helped us ensure all details were taken care of before the move. The actual move was efficient well-done, the team was friendly and worked well together, and handled our items with care.

Moving in general is stressful but I think what made the day of the move much more smoother is Gentle Giant Moving Company. The initial inquiry, email response, day before the move confirmation, the day of move confirmation, and the actual move. The crew that helped me move was great! They made sure that the things are taken care of during the whole transfer. You are kept informed of the process and which things needed more care or fragile. Thank you guys!
