Decades of Staffing Success

Founder and President Sheryl Davis Kohl is synonymous with Beacon Staffing Alternatives.

She launched the company in 1999 along with her mother Patricia, centralizing an office along the vibrant Route 40 business corridor.

Sheryl and her family had established an independent staffing agency in Bel Air, Md. in 1985. Later, she and her mother ran a local franchise of a national staffing operation. Under Sheryl’s leadership, the business expanded with sales reaching more than $4 million annually.

Sheryl maintains strong ties to the community and Beacon Staffing supports local organizations and causes.
