What's New

This bathroom makes perfect use of the sloped roof lines in this dormered Cape style home. The natural finish on the window trim adds warmth to the neutral tile palette.

In his 15 years at Bensonwood, Nino’s many talents and curious nature have been a huge asset to the company. “I’ve always appreciated Bensonwood’s self-management philosophy, and I think I’ve filled so many different roles in the company because I’m naturally a troubleshooter, and I love diagnosing problems and finding solutions.” Some of Nino’s most memorable times at the company include his years sitting near our architects, absorbing their knowledge and superior ability to support our clients. “I also have really enjoyed the opportunities to give back. I volunteered when the company helped rebuild Kmiec’s Garage in Alstead after the floods in 2004, and when we built the gazebo in town.” Congratulations to Nino, we are lucky to have you! ...

Q: What drew you to working at Bensonwood?
A: In my mid-thirties, I was having a bit of a mid-life crisis, which led me to do a deep dive into "What Color Is Your Parachute" -- a book that I still recommend to absolutely anyone who will listen. I had really been working through the exercises in the book and thinking hard about the type of place I would like to work. It wasn't long before Bensonwood showed up on the radar (thanks Peter Wotoweic!), and I could see this was an enterprise that hit all of the high points -- a small but growing company; building durable, beautiful things; a flat managerial structure; and the opportunity to work as part of a team with some really bright folks. So, I sent them a letter. The HR director had the foresight (or maybe just the sympathetic kindness) to look past the obvious inadequacies of my resume, and she somehow finagled a job for me in the PM group. Even in retrospect, I still view that first opportunity as one of the true blessings in my life.

Q: What is your most memorable moment as part of the Beam Team?
A: Having barbecued chicken for lunch at an FSC logging camp in the Amazon Forest outside of Itacoatiara, Brazil.

Q: Where are we most likely to find you on your days off?
A: In my garden. ...
