Owner and construction manager, Zach Blumner first began in the field of construction working on home renovations with his grandfather. He moved to Alaska from Colorado in 1994 and has been in Talkeetna since 1998. Hard work and integrity have helped him to establish Birch Creek Builders as a reliable, high quality construction company.

Crew foreman, Tim Vandiver learned to build houses working for his father while growing up in Texas. Since then, many years building in Alaska have taught him the techniques of arctic construction. His skill, motivation and positive attitude keep the BCB crew going strong!  

Missouri native Steve Cheney puts his strong skills and experience to work every day, and manages to keep his sense of humor. Steve has been selected to be the Birch Creek  Builders 2006 Employee of the Year.

We would like to show our appreciation for Steve by offering him a free trip to scenic downtown Talkeetna, and a refreshing beer. Thanks Steve!

Newcomer to the Birch Creek Builders team, Andy McIlvaine, hails from Colorado where he mastered in the downhill arts. Andy's quote: "I can't wait to cut up my first moose with a sawzall."

The Birch Creek Builders official mascot, Daisy Duke, can sometimes be found laying peacefully in the shade near the jobsite. More often, she is running away, rolling in rotten fish, eating something disgusting or throwing up a big wad of grass.
