My name is Steve Weise and I'm a fourth-generation builder currently living in the Yakima, Washington, area. My path to becoming a builder has not been direct or straight, but in retrospect, everything I've done in my life has led me to this profession. Whatever my pursuits, I've always been drawn towards helping people. Building homes, to me, is an extension of the desire to help the world be a better place and the ultimate way to help people connect with their surroundings. There's an old saying about meeting your destiny on the road you took to avoid it; in my early life, I tried a number of different things, but about 35 years ago I was gently and naturally guided back to my heritage of building homes.
