Construction has been trickling down his bloodline for generations. One great grandfather built violins and guitars; and installed finish carpentry on yachts after serving in WWII. Another great grandfather built barns and timber frames. Josh learned much from his ‘Grampa Charlie’, and uncles Jim and Chip; brothers and builders. After 9 years as a Portland Firefighter (while simultaneously running a small construction business), Josh decided to leave the PFD to focus more on Big Country Built. When not at work he enjoys time with his wife Kelsey and their three kids.

Ben was a track athlete at Wheaton College prior to running his own construction business in Colorado. Moving home to Maine, he continued taking on and managing some projects on his own, prior to coming on board with Big Country Built. Ben either spends his free time with his wife, Emily, or standing in 4 feet of water with a fly rod in hand.

Ashley grew up in Maine and graduated from Saint Joseph’s College of Maine with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.  She thoroughly enjoyed working with people in a healthcare setting but after 15 years she felt it was time to for a new and exciting challenge.  Residential construction, specifically layout and design, have always been a passion of hers.  Ashley’s prior experience coordinating nursing staff and patients has translated seamlessly to the building process where clear and concise communication is paramount.   When Ashley isn’t at Big Country Built she enjoys spending time with her husband and two kids.  They absolutely LOVE Maine summers on Little Sebago Lake!

Cyndie grew up in Rhode Island and first came to Maine to attend Husson University, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. She later pursued a second degree, obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of New England. With a strong foundation in healthcare, Cyndie focused her nursing career in pediatrics, where her attention to detail and deep compassion for others truly shined. She has seamlessly transitioned from caring for sick children to meeting the needs of customers at Big Country Built, bringing the same level of dedication and care to her new role. Outside of work, Cyndie enjoys spending quality time with her two amazing daughters and husband.

Matt and Josh met while studying fire science, and later both became firefighters in Portland, ME. While not working at the PFD, Matt helps manage our finances, and non-project-related tasks as well as overseeing Sales. He has obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership. He also is a dedicated family man, prioritizing time with his wife and their 3 kids.

Josh’s wife, best friend, and copilot. She received a Bachelors of Arts and Sciences in 2011, and has since gone on to be a mother and business owner. Owning and operating a furniture redesign business lended itself well in her transition to working with Josh full time. She has an eye for detail, and a deep understanding of the construction process.
