PRESIDENT & CEO

Rusty has been fascinated with construction since he was a kid growing up in Boulder. As new homes went up around him, he and his friends would sneak onto job sites to climb on foundation walls and examine how the structures were put together. After college and exploring a music career, Rusty went back to his first love and landed a job as a construction laborer. That first break led to his next role as a trim carpenter, for the company that is now Cadre. Now the President and CEO, he brings more than 30 years (and counting) of hands-on experience to every job both in the field and in the corporate office. Working with the finest artisans, he and his team deliver homes with masterful attention to detail and stunning artistry- luxury homes of unparalleled originality. When not on a construction site, he can be found in the gym, skiing Mary Jane and spending time with this busy family.
