Noel has had a love for carpentry and building from a very young age. His grandfather, a jack-of-all-trades, began to teach him about carpentry and the construction trades at the age of six. In his elementary school days, he remembers spending whole days in the summer watching and studying the construction of new homes around his neighborhood. This flourished into the pursuit of receiving an education in professional construction management. He has an Associate’s Degree in Carpentry and Construction Science, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Construction Management. The process and satisfaction of completing projects with excellence for homeowners is his daily drive. Along with a love of detailed carpentry and project finishes, he also loves being able to design homes and projects in-house for Lanphear Builders. He is proficient in Chief Architect home design software as well as AutoCad. When not working, Noel loves the enjoying the outdoors with his wife, Amanda, and daughter—hiking, fishing, hunting, farming, bike rides, etc. He also loves planning and taking his family on adventures—locally and abroad.
