Orhan Sokoli, born in Kosovo in 1985, experienced the devastating consequences of war as it claimed the lives of his father and other family members. After completing his elementary and high school education in Europe, he soon realized that his birth country's social and economic conditions would not offer a promising future. In 2003, with unwavering determination, Orhan made the life-changing decision to immigrate to the United States on an F-1 visa for university students.
Benefiting from his exceptional soccer skills, Orhan secured a scholarship at St. Francis College, a distinguished private Franciscan institution in Downtown Brooklyn, New York. After graduating in 2007, he embarked on a career path driven by a thirst for knowledge and a passion for construction. Working his way up in the industry, he absorbed invaluable insights from each position held, acquiring expertise and paving the way for his future venture.
In 2016, Orhan founded MK Construction, a company dedicated to building dreams. From exquisitely designed homes and apartments to captivating hospitality and commercial spaces, MK Construction rapidly gained recognition for its commitment to excellence. Through steadfast dedication, Orhan fostered a growing customer base, where satisfied clients became loyal advocates of the company's outstanding work. In recent years, he expanded his operations to the New Jersey area, acquiring distressed properties, renovating them, and ensuring the availability of high-quality housing for the community.
Orhan's journey as a talented soccer player, which once supported his college studies in America, significantly shaped his leadership skills and ability to run a successful business. Understanding the importance of teamwork, he recognizes that everyone plays a vital role, and there is no place for egos or power-seeking in a cohesive unit.
