Adam Klein - President/Owner
Adam is the owner of Klein Custom Homes, actively involved in every stage of the building process—from overseeing job sites to sketching custom floor plans with clients. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the trades, he brings a deep understanding of quality craftsmanship and construction standards to every project.
Adam’s passion for architecture began at a young age, often drawing houses from his neighborhood at his desk as a boy. Today, that early passion translates into a sharp eye for design—he personally hand-draws each exterior and floor plan to create homes that are both beautiful and functional.
Known for his ability to turn a client’s list of wants and needs into thoughtful, efficient layouts, Adam is dedicated to building high-quality homes that meet families’ needs without compromising on style or budget. His commitment to detail and personalized service has become the hallmark of Klein Custom Homes.
In his spare time, Adam enjoys spending time with his family, skiing, cheering on the Vikings, and sailing during the summer months.

Joslyn Swenson - Interior Designer
Joslyn is the Interior Designer at Klein Custom Homes. With a degree in Interior Design from NDSU and hands-on experience in the residential construction field, she brings a set of fresh eyes and a new perspective to projects. Her expertise lies in client/vendor relationships, residential finishes, and computer-aided interior renderings and drawings.

She uses her creativity and organizational skills to manage selections and present a design solution unique to each project. Much like the rest of the Klein Custom Homes team, she believes that building your home should not be stressful; it should be exciting.
