BW Construction | Boulder, CO - About Us

Randy Bailey

Co-Owner, General Contractor, and Sometime Carpenter

Randy's formal education in construction started in high school with a 1000-hour carpentry certification and followed with a degree in Architectural Design and Drafting.

He continues to keep on the cutting edge of new construction information by attending trade shows and local classes as well as working towards his advanced Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) degree through the National Association of Home Builders.

His on-the-job training started in Evergreen, Colorado in 1978 where he worked as a carpenter and managed new construction and residential remodeling. A two year stint working in Boulder, Colorado at an architectural firm gave Randy valuable experience from the architectural engineering prospective.

Randy started BW Construction (BW) in 1989 and is still learning all the time. He enjoys the challenges of all our projects, from the smallest "creative carpentry" to major home renovations and new construction. Randy's role in BW is sales, estimating, and project management. His goal is to bring successful projects to BW that are a good fit, enjoyable for all, and quality minded.

Beyond BW, Randy cherishes his two daughters, Nicki and Savi, whom he hopes will glean something from their parents' occupation (they already know the technique of "if it doesn't work, wiggle it"!). Randy also enjoys mountain biking, skiing, and building sand castles.

Scott Dresser

Lead Carpenter

Scott joined BW Construction after moving to Colorado from the Boston, Massachusetts area in 1996. Growing up in Connecticut, Scott always tinkered with things, taking apart household appliances, lawn equipment, and the odd automobile. Summer trips to the Berkshire Mountains introduced him to carpentry, restoration, lumberjacking, and more tinkering. By mixing all his skills and interests with management experience gleaned from a corporate stint in Boston and a degree in Communication Studies, Scott has performed as a Lead Carpenter/Project Manager for BW Construction since 1998. He manages the day to day production, budgets and schedules for new custom home projects, whole house remodels and many different types of smaller residential and commercial projects.

For fun, Scott remodels his own home (six years of weekends and counting...), enjoys biking, skiing, ice hockey, winter camping, rafting, and long treks in the wilderness. Scott is a certified National Outdoor Leadership School instructor and a Wilderness First Responder. Scott and his wife Bonnie share their home in Lafayette with their two adopted canine companions Kayla and Riot.

Darren Klinefeter

LEAD Carpenter

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Darren ventured out west to Colorado in 1999, shortly after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. At that time, he was in the middle of an eight year career as a manager of and outdoor retailer. However, Darren has always enjoyed carpentry, as he's been doing it with his Dad longer than he can remember.

Ever since he was a young kid in Pittsburgh, Darren has always been building something. He built many "clubhouses" as a boy, only to tear them down and rebuild them after the fun part was over (the construction, of course). Never idle, Dareen always has something going in life. It might be skiing, backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, biking, camping, home improving, road tripping with wife and dog (Jeannine and Zoe, respectively), or anything else that happens to present itself. He is always into something, somewhere.

Jumping in with BW during the summer of 2002, Darren has been thoroughly enjoying himself in his career. As a carpenter for BW, Darren helps clients realize their dreams, and also takes home some great ideas for his own home improvement projects!

Michele Novosad

Carpenter and Production Manager

Michele is the token Canadian on the BW crew. Raised in Calgary, Alberta, she earned a degree in Outdoor Leadership from the University of Calgary in 1996. Michele moved to Colorado in 1998 seeking sunshine and warmer winters.

An avid telemark skier and rock climber, Michele spent her first years in Colorado as a ski patroller, wilderness ranger, and mountaineering instructor with Outward Bound. After a decade of climbing, skiing, and guiding based out of the back of her pick up truck, Michele settled in Boulder and started her career as a carpenter in the winter of 2002. Shortly after picking up some building skills she and her husband Scott bought and renovated their own home in south Boulder. Michele joined BW in the fall of 2004, and has learned so much from the skilled craftsmen here she’d like to remodel her remodel. When not carpentering, she can be found dreaming about and plotting the annual BW ski trip.
