Greg can be seen playing guitar at Crossroads Community Church.
Michael Johnson Member Michael serves as our in-house electrician. We first met Michael in 2000 and it was quickly apparent he would be doing all of our electric work. Michael is a tireless worker with an incredibly positive attitude.	John Coleman Field Supervisor John is a graduate of Cincinnati Country Day and Charleston University. With 20+ years experience in construction, Big John is an imposing figure on the job site and is an effective manager and communicator. Marc met John through John's neighbor who was a co-worker with Marc's wife.

A graduate of Mariemont HS, Ricky is a carpenter, tile setter, mason, concrete finisher, roofer, and family planning specialist.	Owen Gibby Pictured here is perhaps the most dramatic before and after in Michaelson Homes history. While working on a project at the Gibby residence we noticed Owen might fit in well with our team. Only a sophomore in high school at the time, Owen worked summers doing whatever tasks were asked of him. He soon was framing projects and doing a great job on interior and exterior trim. After graduation from Mariemont High School, Owen joined us full time and has become a fantastic carpenter. It must be noted that we complete projects faster than we were able to get Owen to cut his hair.
Bud Adams Bud comes to us from Addison Homes and serves as our senior carpenter, cabinet/ furniture maker, and consultant. Bud has been in the home building trade for 45 years.	John Douglas John is a Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy graduate and attended UC for 3 years in the Construction Management Program. Contrary to what this picture might indicate, John is drug-free and quickly becoming a talented carpenter.
