Joe Markusen's passion for building and design has been a part of his
life from an early age. Growing up in a small town in North Dakota,
Joe can remember taking on building projects with his family for as
long as he's known how to swing a hammer. It was there where he not
only learned how to build, but the importance of a hard work ethic and integrity.
In 2004, Joe graduated from Michigan State University, where he was a
member of the Spartan Hockey Team. He continued to play
professionally, while simultaneously investing in real estate by
flipping homes and renovating rental properties. While at Michigan
State, Joe met his wife, Kara. They reside in Southeast Michigan with
their three children.
During that time, Joe realized his love for building - from
fine-tuning the design to bringing that design to life. He decided it
was time to 'hang up the skates' and started Blue Line Building Co.
Joe and his talented group of contractors have completed numerous
projects, both residential and commercial. He appreciates that each
customer and project is unique, and enjoys guiding their vision to
reality and seeing a successful final result.
