"Each and every project represents an opportunity to put the pieces together a little bit better and create something new that will honor its future owners and the site the home is built on. Being able to also make a small difference in the environment by the way that houses are built and by educating the public on proper building procedures is a great benefit of my work".
"I have the best job in the world, I get to live and fulfill all the professional areas of my heart; builder, artist, environmentalist & businessman – and if I feel like it, I can even sleep in once in a while"!!

After high school he went to the University of Nebraska at Omaha to study architecture. Switched majors to communications so he could better understand people. Dropped out of College to reassess life……He still completed the communications degree at CSU partly to honor his mother and partly just to complete the degree ;) Involved in construction because he enjoys it. Married Fritha in 2008 and now has two beautiful children, Joel and Lily.

Little Known Fact:
Met and fell in love with my husband on the North Shore in Hawaii
Background:
I got my start in the mortgage business. After that my husband and I began buying and selling real estate, flipping houses and creating owner financing opportunities for people. I met a lot of people during that time and eventually began working for a construction company where I was able to build semi-custom spec houses here in Colorado and Wyoming.
From the mouth of Misty:
"I love the idea of taking a raw piece of dirt and creating something beautiful, something that will last for years, where memories will be made and love will be shared."
"There are endless possibilities in construction. It is so fun to take a vision or idea in your head and see it come to life."
