ometimes the pieces leading to a
person’s career just fall into place, and
that certainly seems true for Brandon
Lynch. His trajectory into home building began
simply; he pursued a degree in civil engineering
at Texas A&MUniversity, and it was during this
education that the pivotal moment occurred,
which would guide him on his journey into
the construction industry. “I had an internship
with a builder in Houston, and it really made
me realize that I wanted to do this for a living,”
Lynch said. “Once I started working, I found
that this was a whole lot more fun and fulfilling
than the other things I could end up doing.”
After graduating, Lynch was recruited by
a production builder out of Houston. He
worked with many different aspects of
the company and moved on to work as a
production manager, sometimes handling
over $20 million in projects at a time. He
took on the challenges and proved to his
employer, and to himself, what he could
accomplish. The experience made Lynch
eager to do more, and in 2007 he and his
wife, Sheri, started their own company,
Keechi Creek Builders.
Pursuing his own vision, Lynch crafted
Keechi Creek Builders into a boutique,
specialty-remodeling and custom-building
company. Lynch admits that he likes to
work with a traditional look that also
incorporates transitional elements, but
emphasizes that what matters most are
the customer’s wants and making sure that
he can fulfill their wishes. “We base our
business on working hard to bring what a
customer wants to life,” he said. “We don’t
do jobs for everybody. We focus on the
right jobs for the right customers.”
Part of this prioritizing customers' wants
and needs pushes Lynch to keep up with
the latest trends and education. And this
suits him, as he prefers to keep his designs
current and stay on the cutting edge.“I think
it’s more fun to try something new,” he said.
“It’s more fun the first or second time we’re
doing something versus the thirtieth or
fortieth time.”
Education is essential for Lynch, and he
has found a wealth of information in the
