Transportation 2025: KUHN, CHARLES

FOUNDER AND CEO, JK MOVING SERVICES, STERLING

Virginia Business //September 2, 2025//

At age 16, Kuhn founded JK Moving Services, now North America’s largest independently owned and operated moving company, with $225.5 million in fiscal 2024 revenue. It employs more than 1,300 workers.

The company has moved presidents and their families in and out of the White House since George H.W. Bush’s administration, including moving the Trumps to Mar-a-Lago and back.

One of Loudoun County’s biggest landholders, Kuhn is a major investor in data centers through his company JK Land Holdings, which in February 2024 acquired 108 acres in Ashburn primed for data centers. While two data centers are planned for the property, the conservationist earlier this year

donated 10 of those acres to the Loudoun Freedom Center, giving the center more control over the land surrounding the African American Burial Ground for the Enslaved at Belmont.

Kuhn also founded JK Community Farm, a 150-acre nonprofit farm that donates its produce to area hunger relief organizations.

TRAIT I ADMIRE: Moxie. People that have the know-how and a fearless resolve to lead, raise the bar and embrace challenges with enthusiasm and determination change the world.
