Chinook Contractors

The Founder of Chinook Contractors, Kelly has over 30 years’ hands-on experience in the construction industry, in addition to being a well-respected business owner. His first endeavor, right out of high school, was creating a successful custom cabinet shop, Future Design Custom Cabinets. Kelly oversees all facets of Chinook and maintains clear communication daily with his diverse crew. Kelly is seen as a close friend and mentor to his team, and takes pride in their achievements and professional quality of work. He has an outstanding reputation with Chinook’s government contacts, vendors, prime and sub-contractors alike.

The first official employee of Chinook Contractors, Kyle has over 30 years’ experience in all phases of commercial and residential construction. He manages many of Chinook’s fast-paced federal projects, while continuing to maintain daily interactions and support to the various crews in the field. We think he can cover so many bases, because he runs a 7 minute mile! Kyle holds a Business Degree from Washington State University, as well as holding “Number 1 Brother” status with President Kelly.

The newest member to the Chinook team, Brian has over 20 years of construction experience. For the past 15 years, he has worked as a project manager for a large civil construction company. Additionally, Brian holds a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from California State University, Chico. His hands-on approach and willingness to work with owners and developers are just some of his great assets. His organizational skills and attention to detail are a valuable addition to this already strong team.

Ray’s career includes more than 35 years of working with government contracts at all the Naval Base Kitsap installations. His diverse background includes field work, scheduling, supervising, estimating, mentoring and more. He is a lifelong Kitsap resident and has been with Chinook since 2013. Ray’s stellar reputation with government contacts and other general contractors has greatly benefited Chinook, as has his estimating expertise.

Charley has been an integral part of Chinook Contractors since 2004. With 33 years of construction experience, 30 in government contracting, and 24 years of project management, Charley is an invaluable member of the Chinook team. His friendly demeanor motivates team members and subcontractors alike. Fun fact: Charley attended Dixie State University in southern Utah on a baseball scholarship.

Marnie has been by Kelly’s side since Future Design Custom Cabinets was developed in the ‘80s, followed by the inception of Chinook in 1990. She was employed full time elsewhere, while managing the books for Chinook and raising their fine family. She is a master multitasker! Twenty years ago, she signed on full time, making Chinook a true family operation by character, quality and design. In addition to managing payroll, human resources, and accounts payable and receivable, Marnie oversees all financial aspects of our growing company as Corporate Secretary, Treasurer, and Administrator.
