For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of being an integral part of this team. I began on my profession path with a deep-rooted love for working with my hands, a trait that has guided me through every project at Wright’s Renovations. This passion is not only about the tactile joy of building but also stems from the satisfaction of witnessing the excitement on our clients’ faces as we turn their visions into reality.

Parallel to my hands-on experience, I pursued academic excellence at the University of Michigan to deepen my understanding of the business world. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in economics, which equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding planning. Following this, I furthered my education with a master’s degree in management. This advanced study enhanced my leadership skills, strategic planning capabilities, and provided me with a comprehensive understanding of organizational efficiency. These academic achievements have been instrumental in my ability to manage projects effectively, ensuring that we not only meet but exceed our client’s expectations.

I’m dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and transparency. I strongly believe in building not just spaces, but relationships with clients based on trust and mutual respect. Your home renovation is a journey we are eager to embark on with you. With an unwavering commitment to quality and meticulous attention to, we want to bring your dream home to life!

Born and raised in Michigan, my life has been shaped by a blend of responsibilities, hobbies, and a quest for personal and professional growth. As the eldest of three sisters, I learned the essence of responsibility early on, a trait further honed through my dedication to karate. Achieving a second-degree black belt in Ryukyu Kempo Karate and becoming the youngest instructor at my dojo were milestones that taught me discipline and leadership. My love for animals guided me to pursue a degree in animal science from Michigan State University, where I also excelled as a member of the equestrian team. Post-graduation, my career path took a turn from veterinary work to roles in administrative, sales, and business management, leading to a fulfilling position at Wright’s Renovations.

Outside of my professional pursuits, my life is enriched by a variety of hobbies. I’m an amateur photographer on the side and attend regular horseback riding lessons. My husband Kevin and I enjoy the nerdy things in life, like the immersive worlds of Magic: The Gathering, video games, and board games. Our leisure time is a blend of outdoor activities, such as visits to the gun/archery range and motorcycle rides, and relaxing moments by our pool, always making time for family and friends. This journey, from martial arts to animal science, and eventually to business management, reflects my evolution through diverse interests and the continuous search for my true passion.

As a proud member of the Wrights Renovations crew, I bring to the table an unwavering commitment to excellence in customer service, a keen attention to detail, and an ambitious drive to surpass expectations on every project. My passion for transformative renovations is matched only by my dedication to ensuring each client’s vision is realized with precision and care. With years of experience in numerous fields under my belt, I thrive on the challenges that each new project presents, consistently delivering quality workmanship that not only meets but exceeds our clients’ desires. At Wrights Renovations, I believe in building dreams from the ground up, and I am thrilled to be a part of a team that shares my commitment to excellence and my relentless pursuit of perfection.

My life has always been spent pursuing two disparate paths…construction and music. I grew up in Idaho and from an early age I have been involved with the home building industry. My father owned a door manufacturing company, and later a new home construction company, where I learned the building trades. At 11 years old I started sweeping floors at his construction sites, and through the years I learned all aspects of the building industry, working my way up to vice president of the family business. As an active member of the building community, I served as a board member for the Snake River Valley Home Builders Association in Southwest Idaho. In recent years, I have focused on remodeling and custom woodworking projects, such as designing and building bookshelves, cabinets, and built-in closets. I take pride in the work I do, and I approach all projects as if I were doing them for myself.

Outside of the building industry, my life has been immersed in music. I have lived all over the country, pursuing education in music performance and composition. I have graduate degrees in saxophone performance and music composition, and I have done doctoral work in composition. For three years I was professor of saxophone at Syracuse University. I have written works that have been performed in South America, Europe, and all over the US; and as a performer, I have performed around the US and South America and have premiered a number of works dedicated to me.

Construction and music are two disciplines that seem unrelated, but the same dedication and perseverance that composing music requires are traits that I incorporate into the construction projects that I am a part of.

My name is Gerlad, but I’m better known as Jerry. I have recently joined the Wright’s Renovations team as a foreman. I have been in the construction field for over 30 years and specialized in tile, stone, and flooring for 26 of them. Being a foreman is a rewarding position. I love sharing my knowledge with my crew while learning from them as well! You can never gain enough skills and development.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, watching sports with friends, playing softball and golf, and spending time with my fiancé and kids. I am so excited to help make your dream projects a reality!

I grew up in the Swartz Creek area here in Michigan. I’ve been doing construction for about 6 years now. My experience includes HVAC, framing, drywall, painting, and some roofing and plumbing. I really enjoy working for Wright’s and have been learning a lot of new skills along the way. In the future, I eventually want to get my builder’s license! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, weightlifting, and working on cars.

My name is Joseph, I am 19 years old. I have always enjoyed construction and been a hard dedicated worker. In the past i’ve done many different jobs including painting, framing, roofing, as well as some plumbing and electrical! I love that its something different every day which keeps it exciting for me. My favorite part is working together as a team to create an amazing end product. If my free time I enjoy motorsports, working on cars on the side, welding, and spending time with family and friends.  Im very proud to be an employee of Wrights Renovations and excited to see as our company grows!

I grew up in the farmlands of West Michigan. From a young age, I always enjoyed building things with my hands and whatever tools I could acquire, from Lego designs to a cat house for my outdoor cat. I have always enjoyed solving problems, which my farming and home maintenance as a teenager taught me to do innovatively.

I moved to Southeast Michigan in 2012 to study architecture at Lawrence Technological University. I made many new friends and contacts, and found that many of them needed simple repairs or alterations made to their homes or workplaces. It was then that I began working as a handyman, completing projects of all types and sizes.

Years and two children later, I was looking for something that would be good for me and my family, and I found Wright’s Renovations. I thought they might be a good company to work for, so I went for it.

Now, I can say I am proud and excited to be a member of the Wright’s Renovations crew. The values and craftsmanship that the company honors are what makes me strive to do my best on every project.

I am a seasoned professional with a passion for construction and real estate. After graduating with honors from trade school in the parquet and flooring systems industry in Germany, I earned an Associate’s Degree in Construction Management from Washtenaw Community College. With over 20 years of experience running a successful flooring business, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every project. Currently, I also work as a realtor in Livingston County, helping clients find their dream homes while leveraging my extensive industry expertise. Outside of work, I enjoy the plentiful outdoor recreational opportunities that Livingston County has to offer and love spending quality time with my family.
