Project Manager
Anne happened upon and fell in love with Salida following several adventurous mountain biking, camping and ski trips in the late 1990’s. Originally intended as a vacation destination, Salida proved too irresistible, and plans were made to relocate. In 2002, Anne and her then husband purchased a small local glass business, aptly named “Joe’s Glass”. The name was changed, employees were hired, and the business expanded. After 17 years of managing the business with her business partner the business was sold.
After the sale of the business, Anne joined Davis Hauser Construction. She brings with her a range of skills that complement the existing talent. Anne has built several personal residences and through the glass, window and garage door business consulted customers on various aspects of their own home building projects. As a project manager her organizational skills, love of spreadsheets and ability to think outside the box make her a welcome addition to the growing team. Whether it be a primary residence, vacation retreat or business venture. Anne hopes to work with clients, contractors and vendors to build mutually successful projects. We love her humor, knack for finding bunnies and appreciate her contributions to Davis Hauser Construction.
