About Us
Bio
Hello, my name is Lou Foxheart, Lead Carpenter and Owner of Black Rose Homes. I was born and raised in the Inland Northwest to value hard work and DIY ethics. My adventurous spirit has led me to move around a lot, exploring many major cities and life paths. Several years back, I left a successful career in tech, deciding to turn my life-long passion for building into a carpentry career where I could produce work that was more tangible and meaningful. I was trained through the Carpenters Union Apprenticeship Program in Northern California, where I learned all aspects of the carpentry trade while building kitchens and bathrooms in large multi-family buildings. After moving back to the Pacific Northwest, I started Black Rose Homes, realizing the dream of starting my own small business. When I’m not working, I love to travel, tend my garden, spend time with my pets, and attend cultural events with my family.
