Rick built post-and-beam cedar homes, and owned and operated his own construction and carpentry business for 23 years, before joining HighCraft Builders in 2023.
As a member of HighCraft’s in-house team, Rick works on remodels and custom homes from start to finish, which gives him great satisfaction as a carpenter. He also appreciates being part of a design-build company known for its quality craftsmanship and exceptional client experience.
As a Lead Carpenter and Project Manager, Rick combines decades of hands-on construction experience with thoughtful project leadership. He works closely with homeowners, trade partners, and our in-house team to keep projects on track while continuing to lend his expertise to detailed finish carpentry. From coordinating construction and solving challenges in the field to hanging doors and cabinets and installing precision trim work, Rick is committed to delivering exceptional quality and ensuring every client is proud of the finished result.
“What I appreciate most about HighCraft is its dedication to customers, attention to detail, and the willingness of everyone to help each other out. It’s incredible working with this dynamic team.” – Rick
LIKES: Cooking. The Detroit Lions, Tigers and Redwings. Hanging out with his wife and two great boys. Getting up in the mountains, whether it’s camping or 4-wheeling, to enjoy this great state we live in. Good workmanship and a good attitude.
DISLIKES: A messy job site. People who don’t do their job, or do it incorrectly. Tooting his own horn.
More than meets the eye:
Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, Rick can trace his love of carpentry back to his first woodshop class in 7th grade. It inspired him to build benches, stereo cabinets and other furniture, and he’s been addicted to woodworking ever since.
