A NOTE FROM OWNER, LEIF:
When my wife and I first laid eyes on the Teton Valley Valley 15 years ago, we knew we were going to live here one day…That day has arrived.
The mountains surrounding us, the rolling hills, prairie grasses, we felt a sense of freedom we had not felt before. We had lived on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington for 15 years before coming to Bozeman, Montana. We are not strangers to gorgeous landscapes, and Bozeman was a wonderful place to call home. As the Gallatin valley grew at a rapid pace, we knew a smaller town lifestyle was calling our name. We decided it was a great time to finally make the move to Teton Valley, ID. We are so thrilled to be here! We have a 18 year old son, Jai, a 12 year old daughter Penelope, a 9 year old daughter Lily and a 5 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Jack.
I look forward to getting to know you!
my passion
I’m passionate about creating a final product
that far exceeds my clients expectations.
Question & Answers
+ How did you start building?
I have loved to build and create things since I was a little kid. It was a natural progression to professional building when I finished college. When I was just reentering the trades, I had the pleasure of working for a master builder who did design build projects. I worked side by side with him and some of Martha's Vineyards best carpenters building stunning seaside homes. There I was pushed well beyond my comfort zone, igniting a passion in me for quality building that still burns bright today!
