Brandon Crumb
Woodhouse Senior Home Designer
Brandon Crumb originally got his degree in forestry, but never really found anything to do with it. He did, however, remember a class he took in high school.
“We went through and designed a house from scratch,” Brandon recalls. “I had a blast doing it and my teacher was awesome.”
That memory inspired him to return to college for his architectural degree. When he heard about an opening at Woodhouse, he applied and began working the week after graduation. That was in May 2005. Learn more about what Brandon has been up to since.
Lori Wagner

When she was a high school senior, Lori Wagner had a hole to fill in her class schedule. Her dad suggested a drafting class, and she was hooked. As of 2022, she has been designing for 32 years. Learn more about Lori here.
Fred Dewey
Woodhouse Senior Home Designer
