Jim and Kristy Yozamp - Owner and Interior Designer
Jim and Kristy Yozamp grew up in Eugene Oregon, and after high school and college, started their family in the Portland area buying homes in the late 80’s, improving them and building their personal homes as a family. They turned that personal passion of design and building into a business in the mid 90’s, starting with a home in Camas Washington and then a year or two later in Central Oregon, with the design and construction of a custom home in Sunriver.
Jim’s family had an architectural background in the Midwest and Kristy always had a knack for interior finishes. With their combined backgrounds, they started building custom homes as speculative projects as they transitioned the family to Central Oregon. After managing many custom homes and building the business, they were quickly commissioned to build custom homes throughout Central Oregon and developed Pacwest Builders, including a design center and transitioning to a full service design/build firm.
Jim and Kristy enjoy spending time with their two adult children and their new little granddaughter!

After high school, Spencer spent a year in Bend, working at Mt. Bachelor and snowboarding as much as possible before returning to Eugene to attend the University of Oregon. In 2005, with a Bachelor’s of Architecture degree in hand, he returned to Bend with his soon to be wife, Emily, to start their careers. He was lucky enough to be hired by Steve Van Sant and started working for Pacwest as a drafter and is now a licensed architect in the state of Oregon.
When not working, Spencer enjoys camping, Mt. Biking, snowboarding, and hiking with his wife, two kids, and their dog. He is also passionate about homebrewing beer, which he has been doing since he was 15 years old.

When Blair and his wife, Jen are not working, they like to go hiking, camping, snow shoeing, and snowboarding. Being a 90’s kid, Blair has a large knowledge of Disney, model railroading, and, as a musician, has a great interest in music.
