Robb graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management. He has held a variety of positions in the construction industry including general laborer, superintendent, project manager, vice president, and president. He has also launched or acquired several construction companies in his career, filling, in some capacity, every role needed for the company to run successfully. Robb has also managed a wide range of project types including precast, steel, and wood-framed structures across several market sectors. While he is no stranger to commercial and industrial projects, he has become an expert in the multi-family sector, procuring and managing thousands of units throughout his career. He believes that just like every construction project is different, so is every client. The key to his success has not only been knowing every detail of his projects but putting that same energy into understanding his clients and their needs. Bringing value and delivering a great project are important, but a happy client is equally important. Robb’s passion for construction is in his blood – his grandpa drove bulldozers and his dad built houses. He feels that construction is an exciting process and ensuring that his clients share in that excitement is especially important to him. He believes that bringing comfort to his clients by being versed in the most current methodologies, products, and pricing, then communicating in a clear concise way that can be understood by all, is paramount. Through integrity, great communication, and accountability, the excitement of construction can be shared with everyone involved from inception to completion. In his free time, Robb enjoys spending time with his wife and family, finding new places to travel and adventure, and enjoying the great outdoors. Be it a hike in the woods or a day on the water with his favorite hardware, he is in his element. Robb also enjoys sporting clays, driving fast on the course, of course, and time on his tractor trying his hand at farming.    

Lee graduated Summa Cum Laude from Lawrence Technological University with a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management and an Associates of Science in Construction Engineering Technologies. He has held a variety of positions in the construction industry ranging from assistant project manager and superintendent to general manager and vice president of construction.

Making a construction dream a reality can be a seemingly daunting process, and his top priority is ensuring that his clients are well informed and never feel overwhelmed. He accomplishes this through clear, consistent communication from pre-construction through closeout. In his free time, Lee enjoys vacationing with his wife and finding new trails to walk with his chocolate lab.

Nate shares a passion for all things construction and bringing projects to life with his attention to detail, communication, and approachability. In his free time, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and family, being in the woods or on the water, or playing a round of golf.

While he stays busy with family, you can still find Dave out on the water or riding trails in his free time.
