Objective:
I give every client my very best—from the first handshake to the final walkthrough. W.B. Builder’s is here to bring each vision to life through truly custom, high-quality homes—uniquely tailored to the family who will live there. Our homes are built to stand the test of time and designed to be treasured for generations.

Experience and Role:
My journey in construction began as a teenager, working summer jobs in northern Michigan and learning the trade with my own two hands. After high school I spent years refining my skills under seasoned local contractors before launching W.B. Builders Inc. in 1999 with little more than a pickup truck, a small crew, and a relentless drive to build something great.

I spent those early years on every job site–swinging hammers, solving problems, and setting the tone for the kind of work that speaks for itself. Decades later, my role has grown, but my presence has not faded. As President and Owner, I remain deeply involved, personally overseeing each project with a steady hand and an eye for detail that hasn’t wavered in over 40 years.

Bill’s leadership isn’t loud, but it’s felt everywhere. He sets the pace for the team, fosters a company culture rooted in pride, trust, and excellence, and holds fast to a simple philosophy: listen well, build honestly, and treat every home as if it were his own. Bill prides himself on building a reputation for craftsmanship, fairness, and follow-through—and somehow, even with dozens of moving parts, he still shows up on-site, answers the call, and makes time when it matters.

Favorite Part of My Job:
I love working with the natural beauty we’re surrounded by—designing and building in a way that respects the landscape, frames the views, and fits the way people really live up north. Being part of that kind of transformation never gets old.

Bucket List “To Do”:
Moose hunting in Alaska–the wild and no cell service. Build a legacy cabin with my grandkids, completely off the grid.

At Home:
A true northern Michigander at heart; I find my peace in the woods, on the water, or gathered around a fire with family. Whether I am fishing at sunrise, chasing big game out west, or fixing something in the shop, I’m never far from tradition—or from those I love most.

Hobbies:
Woodworking, tinkering around the shop, and spending time outdoors with my family. I’ve always got a project going—even when I say I’m “taking a break.”

Objective:
To ensure every client has a rewarding experience building their dream home—and to create a work environment our entire team can be proud of.

At Home:
My wife, Beth, and I have been married for over 30 years. We’ve raised three adult children who all still live here in Michigan and share our love of the outdoors. We enjoy being active and spending time with family. Recently, we welcomed our first grandson, Everett, who is already stealing everyone’s heart.

Hobbies:
If it gets me outside, I’m probably interested. In the summer you’ll find me fishing, in the fall, deer hunting and some skiing in the winter months. I enjoy whitewater and sea kayaking, and I never shy away from a good backpacking adventure. I’m especially looking forward to sharing my love for the outdoors with the next generation of our family.

Objective:
