Michael Payne
Payne & Payne Builders
What Guides My Decision Making: While there are about 40 employees at Payne & Payne, our “extended family” of trade and supplier partners are in the hundreds. Many of them have been with us for decades, and these long-term relationships are a great strength to our team. Making decisions that ensure their futures are just as important as our own.
My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: I grew up in the trades, working through high school as a painter and eventually starting a framing carpentry business when I was 22. Having done most of the types of work in homebuilding has provided me with an understanding of and empathy for the crews working on our homes, enabling me to better connect with them.
Hobby/Passion: I am an outdoorsman and love to be in the mountains, on the sea or anywhere with a great natural atmosphere.
If I Were a Character from a TV Show or Movie, I’d Be: Family members occasionally call me Scrat due to my tendency to constantly be on the move and always looking for more fun and adventure.
