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.

Julie and Adam are proud parents to two daughters—Addie (3) and Alix (1)—who remind them daily of the importance of building homes that families can grow in and enjoy for years to come. Julie’s strengths in organization, accuracy, and efficiency help keep the business running smoothly behind the scenes.

Traci VanBruggen - Project and Design Coordinator
Traci is the Interior Designer and Project Coordinator at Klein Custom Homes, guiding clients through the design process from the initial appointment to the final touches before move-in. With years of experience in interior selections, she helps homeowners choose finishes that are both beautiful and durable for everyday life. Her creativity, eye for detail, and thoughtful touches help make every Klein Custom Home one-of-a-kind.
As a mom of four, Traci brings a practical perspective on organization and functionality—essential for designing homes that support busy family life. Her favorite part of the job is seeing clients' visions come to life, from the first design on screen to the finished home. Nothing is more rewarding to her than hearing how much families love living in the spaces she helped create.
Outside of work, Traci enjoys time with her husband, Dave, and their four kids—Nora (9), and triplets Harrison, Hendrik, and Heath (6). They love sports, golfing, and spending time outdoors.
