Rich was born and raised on a dairy farm in the harsh elements of
Northern Minnesota. At an early age, he developed the work ethic that
is behind MB Builders today. He and his wife, Mary, moved to the Coeur
d’Alene area in 1994. Rich began working for Mick Blakely at MB
Builders Inc. in 1995. Together, their efforts brought MB Builders to
a level of custom building that is not easily matched. Rich joined
Mick as a partner in 2008, and the company name changed slightly to MB
Builders and Development LLC. In January of 2014, Mick retired from
his position, and Rich and Mary became sole owners.
