Jeff Brown
Our President, and fearless leader, has watched Dexter Builders grow from a small deck project into a thriving, nationally recognized, enterprise.
Originally from Battle Creek, Jeff earned a Masters of Science in Geology from Western Michigan University, which he put to use with Chester Engineers and The Traverse Group for nearly 15 years.
Jeff grew up in a family owned trucking and distribution business. He soon realized he would one day want his own business. Unknowingly, Jeff took the advice of Mark Twain, “make your vocation your vacation” and started building projects on weekends and evenings. In a matter of a couple years, his service and reputation had built enough additional projects to make the jump to full-time small business owner.
In his spare time, Jeff is an active member of the Dexter Rotary Club, participates in golf and hockey leagues, does watercolor paintings, and gives priceless advice to his son, Josh.
His newest, and greatest joy is spending time with his first grandbaby!
Cory Dunham
I help leaders restore their passions when they feel empty or drained. Continuing to run our family-owned business BDB Marketing Design, along with developing my own Leadership Development company, I've so many entrepreneurs, executives and fractional professionals who are overwhelmed juggling their careers, businesses, families, and have stopped pursuing their passions. They have seemingly insurmountable roadblocks that keep mounting day to day which makes them practically give up on pursuing, or even taking any consistent concerted efforts toward achieving their vision or goals. The awesome part is that there are the handful that want to experience more out of life, have peace of mind, experience joy, and bring their families and loved ones along with them. I am passionate and excited to be privileged to work with them. I have a wife for 24 years, 3 adult children, love adventure, youth mentoring, reading, outdoor activities, flying general aviation aircraft & skydiving. I believe in finding your Purpose, having a Passion & creating Impact. I enjoy helping these leaders who are looking to remove overwhelm, and create a clear path to living a more exciting and fulfilling life.
