Nate Ewen
Nate leads our team of people who love to smile, greet friends and meet new ones. He was born in Beeville, Texas but lived and grew up through high school in Hillsboro, Oregon. He is a graduate of Oregon State University with a BS degree in Construction Engineering Management. Out of college, Nate worked at Baugh Construction as a project engineer on the Portland airport Delta concourse expansion and concrete tilt-up projects followed by managing high-tech sustained projects at Intel. He then made a move into the residential construction industry in 1997 working as a project manager for a couple of builders in Portland before moving to Bend in 2003 to work as Palmer Homes’ construction operations manager. He now has my own home building/remodel business here in Bend. Nate met my wife Kate while playing volleyball at Oregon State their freshman year. They married in 1994 and now have two children, Jack and Reagan. As a family, they enjoy golf, tennis, skiing, camping, hiking, biking… basically most all central Oregon has to offer.
