I grew up in Northwest Illinois assisting my dad with a variety of building projects. My dad was a pastor, but also very good at working with his hands. Growing up, we built three additions onto our house and constructed his log church building from the ground up. In the summers, I would spend countless hours working with him doing home remodels, auto mechanics, welding projects, landscaping, lawn mowing, painting, plumbing, electric, etc. After high school, I stepped into full time Christian ministry as a worship leader and eventually a youth pastor at a church in Siloam Springs, AR.

My beautiful wife, Bri, and I met and married in 2007 in South Carolina. In 2008, we moved to Siloam Springs, AR to be closer to her family after our fist son was born. After our forth child was born in 2015, I started Ahrenholtz Home Improvement, LLC as a simple handyman business. The business thrived! Soon, I hired employees and was able to do larger home projects. I eventually got my remodelers license, followed by my general contractors license. I bought and flipped run-down and condemned homes, completed countless bathroom remodels, and updated many kitchens. Then, in 2020, I built my first custom home. Two years later, we decided to rebrand the company name to Ahrenholtz Custom Homes. Since then, my team and I have built custom homes, whole house remodels, two story additions, master bedroom suite additions, kitchen remodels, and many little side projects besides.

I love what I do because I help others establish their legacy by building them a home where memories are passed down from generation to generation. One cannot separate one’s memories from the place where they happened. When you construct your home, you are building your legacy. I love being a part of that journey!

In my free time, I enjoy being with my wife and children while hiking, camping, river fishing and canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, and spending quality time together.
