Todd Schulte

Founder / Owner

Growing up in Southern California in the late seventies and early eighties, Todd would envision exactly what he wanted, and then make it with the materials he found around him. He spent endless hours building skateboard ramps and forts with his friends, and testing them accordingly. Building something from scratch was fun, but also rewarding to know, through trial and error, that it’ll last a long time.

“I have always been a builder of things from an early age. I’d figure out how to build something and make it work. Building and problem solving is a very creative process and I enjoy being creative."

When he started in the construction business, he was 16 years old. Working as a professional, building and design became even more rewarding after seeing clients enjoy his work for years to come. It remains Todd’s motivating force to this day.
