I joined the Adair Homes team in 2015 after working in the financial planning and insurance industry for many years. I work to make building a home an enjoyable and rewarding experience by guiding my customers thru the building process by setting clear goals, objectives and proper expectations. I am proud to guide my customers on the individual steps they need to take to accomplish their goal, helping them realize their dream. I am a husband, a father, and a man of faith. I live my life based on one simple principle - ALWAYS do the right thing. A home is a place for a family to grow and it is my honor that I get to help your family get home.

Home Ownership Counselor

jbrager@adairhomes.com

I grew up in Missoula, Montana and moved to Washington in 1988. I live in Centralia with my wife, Marilyn, and we have 10 beautiful children, 8 boys and 2 girls. A lot of our free time is spent at sporting events (football, basketball, wrestling, and fishing). I joined the Adair team in February 1990 and have loved helping families attain home ownership over the many years with Adair Homes. In 2009, I retired from Adair Homes to be able to spend more time with my wife and travel to visit family around the Northwest. After a couple years I realized how much I missed working at Adair and rejoined the team in August 2011.

Jana Waltman

Home Ownership Counselor

I was born​ and raised in a one stop light town, in North Carolina ​where family was everything. I grew up with the knowledge ​that ​the dining room table ​is more tha​n​ just a place to eat, and that your home is more than just a place to hang your hat. I come from a construction background, and have over​ 17 years of experience in working with general contractors​, sub contractors and customers. I have been involved in commercial and residential projects nationwide. Having the opportunity to work with Adair Homes and help families achieve the American Dream is truly a blessing. Helping others experience what I did while growing up is a dream job and makes coming to work easy. I currently live in Centralia, Washington with my fabulous husband Michael, my son's Aubrey and Dakota and my daughter Autumn. In my free time, I enjoy being at my children's sporting (football, cross country, wrestling and track) or choir events as well as enjoying all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

I grew up in Northern Idaho and moved to Anacortes Washington in 1983. I met my wonderful wife, LaDonna, there and we were married in 1985. We have 2 daughters, Caitlin and Kylie. Both of them are now married and Caitlin and here husband have blessed us with grandchildren! We moved to Tumwater in 2005 when I was provided with the opportunity to work for Adair Homes. One of the things I enjoy most about my job here is the relationships that are formed while being a part of building your dream home. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and being outdoors hunting, hiking, and playing golf.

After being born and raised in Las Vegas I have lived in the Puget Sound area since 1998. Between the rain, snow and sunshine I can't imagine living anywhere else. My wife, Katie, my daughters, Avery and Mila, and my son Ethan and I love to explore Washington state via hiking trails, campgrounds and beaches. Just like the diversified beauty that Washington State provides I am extremely proud to be working with a wide diversity of talents and a dedicated group of individuals here at Adair Homes. It is truly an honor to help our customers build the dream home they always wanted.

Greg Smith

Regional Construction Manager

gmsith@adairhomes.com

Growing up my parents owned and operated a foundation and crane company in the pacific northwest, which meant I spent my summers and school breaks packing lumber, pouring concrete and pounding nails. New home construction has always been a part of my life. I have been part of this great team since 2015. With Adair’s unique approach to "on your lot" homebuilding, I continue to gain knowledge and look forward to the opportunities as I am confidant in our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Spending time with my family, standing on top of mountains, lying on a warm sandy beach or camping all put smiles on my face outside of work.

Travis Cherry

Purchasing Agent

As a child, I always admired the fact that there were often landmarks that my father could point out and exclaim "I built that!" Though perhaps more now than back then, I appreciate having had the opportunity to work alongside him. With a background in Finance, IT Project Management and Estimating, I joined Adair Homes in May, 2016 as a Purchasing Agent. I now find myself charged with managing our Pricing System, in addition to a focused responsibility on Trade Acquisition - a role I have found to be both enjoyable and satisfying, having opportunity to rub shoulders with those who truly represent the face of Adair Homes.

Mortgage Loan Officer

I've been in the financial services industry since 1998 and working with Adair Homes customers at Alliance Financial since 2011. It's very rewarding to assist families in capitalizing their home building projects with a great instant equity position in a home that has been tailored and build to suit. My financial advising background and experience in the assembly of a complete home project will be helpful as we sort through the details of preparation and planning an Adair Homes custom home. I love to stay active in nature around the lovely Pacific NW, play golf at least once a month and soccer several times a week.

I joined the Adair team in 2017 after being a stay at home mom for almost two years. Needless to say, while it was rewarding, I'm am happy to be back doing what I do best. After many years of contemplating building my own dream home, I am excited to be the initial source of contact for anyone who has that same desire: building your dream home at an affordable price with a reputable company who's been in business for over 45 years. With the expected growth that we are looking towards in the next few years, I am thrilled to be a part of this team. When I'm not working, I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and visiting local wineries.

Heidi Olsen-Paulsen

Design and Options Coordinator

Growing up with a general contractor mother, I grew to love the construction process. I remember sitting in on design meetings with her clients, the demo process, as well as the beautiful space she helped create for them. My experience working in flooring showrooms and owning my own design showroom/business; I learned a lot about the materials of today. I am excited to help fine tune the design options program, and am looking forward to helping everyone have their best experience. As a member of the Adair team, I look forward to what we will accomplish together. I like to hike, read, write and paint in my off time.

Brenda Loukes

Customer Care Manager

I've always had a foot in "Homes" as my dad was an architect, I was a real estate agent, I ran an interior decorating business, and I was a real estate marketing manager. This coupled with my previous leadership background as an Army Officer, led me to Adair in January 18. I am enthusiastic about Adair's philosophy of doing the right thing by treating customers with honesty, integrity, and respect. I'm passionate about customer care and desire to emulate these values by supporting a great customer experience! I love anything outdoors, exploring new areas, and trying new things. I am also a huge Foodie!
