Dustin Ence
As the son of a general contractor and developer, I was born into the industry. As a child I would tag along with my father as he visited and worked on his construction projects. I was given the nickname “Hammer” because I would walk around the site, hammer in hand, banging on the nails heads that hadn’t quite seeded all the way - few people, to this day, still use the nickname. Through my teens I gained an appreciation for design and custom homes from visiting the local area parade of homes.
After graduating high school, in 2004, I entered the construction industry and learned the laborious craft of concrete, carpentry, and tile installation. Over the next ten years I honed my skills within each trade, especially concrete. I began taking college courses while teaming up with my father to help out and learn the business of general contracting. Four years later, in 2019, I received a Bachelors degree in architecture from the University of Utah.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 15 years and counting. We have two children - an amazing daughter (Bryn) and a four legged son (Tigg). I enjoy fast motorcycles on curvy roads, live music, snowboarding with my girls, summer lake days, hiking around on our insanely beautiful, southern Utah landscapes, and traveling to new places.
