Ben Murphy
President
"Having grown up in the industry and through remodeling a couple of my own homes, I know the importance of good design and efficient production. I believe in finding something you can be passionate about and helping others along the way. People want to know they are valued and feel their contribution is meaningful. When that happens, everything works. Happy employees, happy customers."
Dan Flaherty
Service Coordinator
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”—Charles Swindoll
Tom Myrick
Director of Marketing & Client Relations
I believe in and am passionate about telling great stories and delivering on brand promises. As a storyteller, I know how important it is to tell a compelling, memorable story. However, all the glitz and bling in the world will never make up for failed promises. In the end, that is pretty much all a business has to offer—a promise of products or services delivered. And, if you can exceed that promise regularly, then you’ve really got a great story to tell.
Tania Katzenmaier
Client Services Assistant
When you truly love what you do, and you're good at it, I really don't think you can call it "work." Instead, when I show up each day with a smile on my face, I like to think of it as more like a hobby with lots of obligations to help people find the answers to what makes their lives measurably better.
Jonah Smith
Senior Design/Build Consultant
"Having worked my way up from general laborer, installing doors, steel decking, and concrete at work, to studying construction and managing/leading crews, to designing and building homes and additions, I have a comprehensive understanding of the entire process— start to finish. I am a team-oriented professional who is passionate about consistently exceeding client expectations."
Jeff Robinson
Design/Build Consultant
"Ethics in business and personal life is a big deal to me. I care a great deal about treating people fairly and honorably. I want to exceed every expectation that is set for each client I work with."
David Long
Design/Build Consultant
"The most important thing to me is clarity. Whether it’s in the details or in the overall goal of the project, there cannot be success unless there is a clear and shared understanding of expectations."
Courtney Cartee
Designer
"I really believe in the power of collaboration, attention to detail, and drawing inspiration from my homeowner's unique preferences and styles. Communication and transparency are top my priorities. Nothing brings me more satisfaction than working closely with my clients to bring their vision to life. I like to begin each project by finding inspiration and following that with meticulous attention to detail throughout the design and planning process."
Theresa Mann
Design/Build Consultant
"I really enjoy and cherish the relationships I’ve made with clients. That's what gets me up in the morning!"
Peter Saari
Project Manager
"I love keeping things on track and hitting the top end of client satisfaction, which in my last position, was 98%."
McKenzie Pederson
Design/Build Consultant
"My approach to design/build is really to start with what the pain points are for the homeowners. What they don't like about their space, and then kind of play off on looking at their style throughout their home and trying to pull everything back together. "
Scott Loso
Design/Build Consultant & Paint Sales
"I have learned over the years of designing and helping clients to look for ways to make the design/build process as fun and enjoyable as possible. I am passionate about the process and take great satisfaction when I exceed my client’s expectations."

Tim O'Neill

It is amazing how much we all have in common with each other. You just have to be willing to ask the right questions to figure out what it is.
Mike Johnson
Draftsman/Project Designer
"I am in a place in my life/career where I can honestly say I truly enjoy what I am doing. I love the detail, the challenge of new ideas and spaces and of course the creative journey technology allows us to explore. As Marc Anthony is quoted as saying, "If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life." I believe it."
David Betz

Tom Quistad
Estimator
"I have this thing about numbers. I love them. And they love me. It's a match made in heaven and on my computer and in your next remodel. Fibonacci was a genius."
Brittani Swedberg
Design Associate
"I've got an eye for color and a talent for bringing the client's dream to reality during the all-important design phase. That's where the hard work of decision-making really pays off!"
Kimberli Abbott
Senior Designer
"I love solving problems…including finding the best use of space. My goal in design is to create the perfect space for each client that truly represents them. I like to dig around, ask a lot of questions, and challenge homeowners to put together a custom design that will literally thrill them in the end. That’s not easy of course because remodeling is difficult and emotional for homeowners; my job is to make it less painful and hopefully put a smile on every face."
Mackenzie Wiersgalla
Project Coordinator
"I love the idea behind this saying, "Don't stop until you're proud." That pretty much sums it up!"
Bob Mock Bob Mock
Director of Project Development
"Planning isn’t everything, and always requires revising, but without it, you’ve pretty much got a whole lot of hope driving your success. And as they say, hope isn’t much of a strategy."

Brandon Miller
Pre-Finishing Manager
"I believe in working the plan, adapting to conditions on the ground and giving every day your best shot. As they say in golf, no putt ever went in that didn't make it to the hole."
