He likes to figure out the small details in the framing stage that will be important in the final stages.

Karl and his wife, Shannon and two children moved to Traverse City 8 years ago from Estes Park, Colorado. They enjoy spending time outdoors in  Northern Michigan.

Worked up the ranks in my Father’s construction company starting at age 10. I’ve run my own company and have been managing projects for over 25 years. I’ve also built 5 personal homes in my spare time over the past 30 years doing most of the work.

The building process has always intrigued me and I enjoy making it a pleasurable experience for clients. One of my favorite projects was an “extreme home makeover” for a pro NHL player that we completed from start-to-finish in 10 months and it included a 2,600 sf work-out facility.
