Barry Lease, President, was born and raised in Long Beach, California
where he graduated from Wilson high school. After receiving an A.A.
degree from Long Beach City College, he completed his studies at Long
Beach State University where he received a B.A. degree in Business
Administration. He worked as a carpenter while putting himself through
college and decided to remain in the construction industry after graduation.
Barry grew up in the world of production framing on multi-unit
condominium apartment buildings and tract homes. Within six years, he
was a foreman managing fifty employees. In the 1990's Barry was
looking for a change and moved to Lake Tahoe to focus on high-end
custom home building. When the local contractor whom Mark Reynolds and
Barry Lease were running projects for unexpectedly passed away, they
decided to create a new business through the purchase of his assets
and retention of his employees. This was the start of Incline Builders
in 2000. Barry was named the "Builder of the Year" for 2011
by the Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe (CATT)
