When we think of a team player we think of Nick Larson! He is always available and flexible, jumping in to help wherever needed both in the field and in the office.
Nick also loves to serve our community by building relationships with key community members. While it is not always an easy task, Nick welcomes everyone with open arms. Not only does he serve others but also our company as a whole.
We give big thanks to Nick Larson! He is a tremendous asset to our team! Congratulations!

Throughout the tough time of building homes, Matt Schelm embraced change! He faced a lot of supply chain issues, labor shortages, crazy real estate markets and so much more. With all of these obstacles, Matt adapts each day through critical thinking and problem solving.
These new situations do not interfere with Matt’s quality of work. His determination as a leader stays consistent and focused.
Along the way, he helps advance others on his team and is a role model for all! Congratulations, Matt Schelm!

Lindsey has grown so much over the past year and we are so appreciative of her hard work! Congratulations, Lindsey Goodson!
