With each new day, capturing my client’s vision is a passion that grows stronger. Starting as a simple carpenter for my father’s company, Bear Construction, he taught me the craft of high-quality and thoughtful execution — a lesson made more substantial as I drive past the homes he constructed that still stand firm today.
This focus on quality, trust, knowledge, and experience let me realize the founding of Lifestyle Homes.
While my personal and professional roots lie primarily in the Oregon construction industry, I developed and honed my communication philosophy as an account manager for a Chicago advertising agency. My clients always know where their project stands. I manage expectations, stay on budget and on schedule, listen to needs, create a plan, and anticipate obstacles.
By collaborating and communicating every step of the way, what is personal to you becomes personal to me. My team aims to exceed your expectations, protect your investment, and build from your perspective.
My promise is to honor your vision. Nothing stands in the way of the home of your dreams, built specifically to your lifestyle.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I’d like to take the time to build yours.
