Our Team
Sam Holcomb
Owner
Former Army Special Forces Green Beret, avid hunter, fisherman, and all-around outdoor enthusiast, and proud father of two, Sam brings a love of design and building to every project.
Sean Kirkpatrick
Project Manager
A Colorado native, Sean is an avid fisherman and proud father of two who still finds time to remodel his family’s home. A creative, detail-oriented carpenter, Sean does a phenomenal job managing projects and building beautiful homes.
Frank King
Project Manager
Frank is a man of many skills. He grew up on an apple farm in Traverse City, has filmed ski films from Alaska to Utah, is an avid photographer, and spends hours each week creating beautiful woodworking projects in his wood shop—an all-around impressive guy!
Aaron Nault
Lead Carpenter
When he’s not bikepacking hundreds of miles in a weekend or shredding steep descents on the RAMBA trails, Aaron is probably working to renovate his historic Ishpeming home with accurate period details. A passionate carpenter, Aaron ensures that everything he does is impeccable.
Pat Althouse
Carpenter
Pat believes that there is no job too tough for him to handle. He is the oil that makes the CCC engine run smoothly! After work, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and traipsing around the U.P. woods with his pack of domesticated foxes.
Blaine McQuinn
Lead Carpenter
You can catch Blaine tearing up traditional bluegrass and country tunes at the Ore Dock or Blackrocks. If he’s not making music, he’s probably on a bikepacking adventure somewhere in the U.P. or spending quality time with his son. Blaine brings many years of experience to every project he’s on.
Kyle Flowers
Carpenter
Kyle has traveled all across the U.S. for both work and play, but life as a carpenter in the U.P. is the most recent chapter in his adventurous life. Kyle is excited to perfect his craftmanship on your home—and maybe build a home of his own someday. (If you buy donuts for the crew, make sure to include an old-fashioned, sour cream glaze for Kyle… maybe two!)
John McGrath
Carpenter
If John isn’t hard at work on your project, he’s probably on a wild, outdoor adventure. He moved to the UP seven years ago and has made good use of his time here—shredding the RAMBA trails, kayaking, hiking, or hanging out with his friends and his dog.
Tom Dutcher
Carpenter
Tom is a true Renaissance man. He builds custom furniture, is an amazing cook, knows his way around the woods as a hunter and fisherman, and also knows his way around a building project. He is an incredibly hard worker and has a great eye for detail.
Nevin Brownell
Carpenter
Marquette institution. Ceramicist. Cyclemaniac. 3x Sportsman of the Year. 5x Snowball Fight Champion of the World… Also, natural-born craftsman. His work, like his style, is always impeccable.
