Meet the Team

How do we describe our Chief Operating Officer, Bryan Sipple? Let’s just say he was born to be a builder! As a 4th generation carpenter, there was never a doubt that he would go on to a successful career in the construction industry. While working with his grandfather and father since age 12, they instilled in him the discipline and drive that he possesses today. Bryan credits his mother for his outgoing personality and charisma.

Bryan’s strong work ethic and commitment to quality is what built Classic Custom Homes. He is not just building the American Dream, he’s living it! Working side by side with his wife Jennie, they have proven that with discipline and hard work, anything is possible.

Bryan has been in the construction field for over four decades. His expertise is in new home construction, multi-family construction, and residential and commercial remodeling. He has worked hands-on in many aspects of construction, and now project manages each and every project himself. This personal hands-on approach and attention to detail is just another thing that separates CCH from the others. With the reputation of Classic Custom Homes on the line, it is important to Bryan that the finest quality products are used and delivered for an affordable price.

Giving back to others in need is very important to Bryan and Classic Custom Homes. Bryan gives generously to the American Cancer Society after losing some dear friends and family members to cancer. He also gives to the Shiners Hospital for Children. Classic Custom Homes also teamed up with Habitat for Humanity for a Frame Up event.

When Bryan is not working, he enjoys spending time at his cabin. A true outdoorsman, his best days are spent with friends and family while snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, or boating.

Jennie has worn many hats over the years at Classic Custom Homes. She has been involved in nearly all aspects of the business and has served in virtually every capacity of the organization. She is currently acting as VP, Controller and Rental Specialist. As a licensed Realtor, she negotiates the best possible land costs for each project.

Jennie’s work experience has been in construction since 2005 when she joined her husband Bryan in Classic Custom Homes. Prior to joining the company, Jennie was a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt focusing on quality and process improvement by identifying inefficiencies and waste. Prior to her Quality Management career, she spent 19 years in the travel industry as a Travel Agent, Travel Agency Manager and Owner, and finally a Corporate Travel Call Center Manager.

Jennie attended the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire studying Psychology and Marketing. She obtained a degree from Travel Careers School in Milwaukee, WI and later her Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification from Six Sigma Academy.

Once again, the American Cancer Society is the charity of choice for Jennie and the Sipple family. She also gives generously to the American Family UW Children’s Hospital, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin. These facilities do life-changing work each day, and Jennie gains much inspiration from their actions. She has also donated time and energy to Habitat for Humanity and Extreme Makeover Home Edition, although I don’t know how much “talent” she brought to the building process!

When Jennie is not working, she enjoys spending time at her cabin with Bryan and friends & family. She enjoys traveling, snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, golfing, and hanging out with her daughter, Bailee. Jennie likes to relax with her dog Maggie, our office greeter.

Brea has led the Interior Design team here at CCH since 2015.  She assists customers with choosing both interior and exterior selections from start to finish – all the way from doors, windows, siding and roofing to paint colors, window coverings, and cabinet hardware.  As an in-house interior designer, she will help to keep you on schedule, on budget, and on top of new trends and products!  She is also responsible for ordering material and cabinet drawings for current clients.

Homegrown here in the Madison area, she worked as an interior designer for a small local business in Central Wisconsin, assisting customers with furniture selections and began her lifelong passion for cabinetry.

Brea enjoys time with her husband, son, daughter, and family, and two precious babies (of the feline variety).  She also enjoys yoga and kayaking.

We love that she has such a big heart – she volunteers at local charity events (AJN Freedom Isn’t Free and the Cow Chip Festival).  She also has volunteered at the food shelter.

As the Construction Operations Coordinator at Classic Custom Homes, Kristi handles a wide range of responsibilities from scheduling jobs to bidding on current and prospective projects.

Kristi is a seasoned project coordinator with 20 years of experience in the construction industry. The last 10 years she has focused on residential single-family homes, where she has honed her skills as a project manager. We are pleased to have her attention to detail, and construction knowledge on our Classic Custom Homes team.

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Kristi made the move to the Spring Green area over 15 years ago. Today, she lives on a farm with her husband, son, daughter, and a menagerie of animals, including 7 dogs, horses, and cows. Off the farm Kristi enjoys spending time with her family, and watching her children play sports.

Dave works as part of the ‘Painting Division’ here at Classic Custom Homes.  They work on interior trim painting, exterior painting, and custom wall/ceiling painting for the new construction homes, remodels, and commercial projects.  They also handle the warranty, service calls, and touchups required before and after homeowner’s move in.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin – Steven’s Point, Dave holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree.

He has been married for over 25 years and has four children, ages 15-22.  He currently lives in Reedsburg.  After college, Dave worked for the State of Wisconsin for nearly twenty years and returned to painting with his father-in-law before he retired from his business of over forty years (whom he worked for during the summers in high school).

Dave likes to bow hunt, make walking sticks, and referee hockey games in the winter.

He makes frequent donations to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

Maggie is the office greeter!

When she isn’t greeting you at the door, she can be found basking in a sunny spot or curled up in front of her very own heater!
