The Team

Oscar Jones: He sleeps a good part of the day, never worries, and has been wearing the same tuxedo for 4 years, but he's still our top salesman and PR guy.  We doubt you'll be able to resist him anymore than we are.  Watch your lap, he thinks it's his!  

Adrian Jones: Adrian brings seventeen years of building experience and an accute attention to detail to every project.  Adrian is a licensed general contractor and oversees design, field and shop operations. Having attended or helped instruct multiple Guild workshops and events, Adrian is now a member of the Board of Directors for the Timberframers Guild.  Dedicated to building great relationships, Adrian considers the friendship of past clients as one of his most relevant successes.

Chris Kates : Yep, the smile is really that big.  Chris has a degree in construction management from Southern Illinois, a tireless work ethic, and a wingspan of about 32 feet.  We think.  After graduating college in 2001, he attended one of the few timberframe apprenticeship programs in the country, and has been building timberframes ever since.

Isaac McCoy Sulentic: A dual degree in math and physics from Macalester college followed by a summer of timber frame apprenticeship at Heartwood School   in 2005 has landed Isaac firmly in the timberframe world. Isaac has been an instructor on half of the six Guild projects he's attended, and has used those experiences to make rapid growth in the industry.  Besides his timberframe skills, his additional experience in homebuilding remains a welcome contribution to our shop.

Curtis Milton: As a guru of complex roof math, rigging, and project management, we’ll take as many weeks of help from Curtis as we can get. We’ve stopped expecting to be able to keep up. 

Bruno Sutter : French by birth, Bruno is as well trained a carpenter as we've ever met. Bruno's been a great help on our most complex roof math problems and offers a refreshing perspective on trades education and their resulting discipline.  Given how smart and good looking he is, we remain undeniably impressed by just how nice a guy he is.
