Steve Kendrick, Owner

As a kid I loved construction. Not so much the dump trucks and bulldozers, but building things--from tree forts to Lego houses. I struggled through college to figure out what I wanted to do for a career. I still remember where I was when the light bulb went off: It was 1988, I was driving down the Massachusetts Turnpike delivering a car full of computers to a client in my beat up Volkswagon Jetta when it just hit me that I wanted to build houses. Everything clicked after that. After graduating from Babson College, a business school near Boston, I moved to Washington, D.C., to work under a great craftsman and relative, Dave Swanson. Dave taught me a lot about all of the trades, enough to be dangerous. I went back to school and took classes in architecture and urban planning. A fortunate twist of events led me to Charleston where I eventually saved and borrowed enough money to start Structures in 1999. I am married with three children, and my family and I enjoy living in I'On, a place where I build. I love what I do. It combines my passion for great architecture, quality construction and managing a professional business. I've surrounded myself with great people who share my passion. I'm a lucky guy.
