The People Behind the Thinking.

Kevin has spent his career building in West Michigan, and he leads Align with a clear goal: to bring truly custom cabinetry, designed and built right here, to West Michigan homes.

He believes the best cabinetry begins with understanding how a family lives, then making thoughtful decisions together before a single piece is built. That's why every Align project is designed with you on Fulton Street and built in our own Grand Rapids shop.

Trent shares his brother Kevin's vision for Align: custom cabinetry made in West Michigan, by local craftspeople, for West Michigan homes.

As VP of Operations, he makes sure what's decided in the showroom holds up in the shop and in your home. He keeps quality, scheduling, and sequencing on track, so the finished cabinetry reflects the plan, not just what was easiest in the moment.

Pete helps people understand who Align is and how we work. He believes trust leads every conversation, craftsmanship should be a given, and authenticity has to support both.

Homeowners value his honesty, about a project's challenges as much as its successes. What motivates him most is educating homeowners and helping them make changes that move their home in the right direction.

Julia designs cabinetry, prepares pricing, and works alongside clients from the first conversation forward. Her focus is finding solutions that are as functional as they are beautiful, built around what each family needs. For Julia, the best moment comes when a client sees their own ideas reflected in the design.

Outside the showroom, you'll find her outdoors, near Lake Michigan whenever she can be, or traveling to visit art museums.

Erica guides clients through selections, prepares cabinet estimates, and creates the drawings and renderings that bring a space into view before anything is built.

She believes great design starts with listening: understanding what a client wants and needs, then proposing custom solutions that fit. Her favorite part is watching clients light up when they see their space come to life in a rendering.   Away from work, Erica enjoys hiking and fishing with her husband, and staying creative with finger knitting, coloring, and puzzles.

Scott turns finished designs into production-ready plans for the shop, balancing design, function, and the practical realities of how cabinetry is built and installed.

He brings 20 years of field experience in remodeling and cabinet installation, which gives clients confidence that what's drawn will work in their home.  Most of Scott's time outside work goes to his family and church. When he can get away, he enjoys camping, hunting, fishing, and golf.

Ryan leads the shop floor, keeping work moving with precision while protecting deadlines and the morale of the team doing the building.

He believes a great experience comes from quality, timeliness, and thorough planning, and he contributes through problem-solving and critical thinking at every stage. Outside the shop, Ryan's favorite place to be is with his family.

Matt runs the CNC and leads quality in the shop, always looking for ways to make production better. What drives him is simple: the pursuit of perfection.

To Matt, a great experience is built on communication from start to finish, following up, and going above and beyond on the small details. Away from work, he's backpacking or snowboarding, or at home with his partner, their dogs, and six cats.

Charles handles final assembly and shipping, the last steps before cabinetry leaves our shop. He loves building custom pieces, and seeing the finished product before it ships is what motivates him.

He believes it all comes down to quality: the better a cabinet is made, the happier the homeowner. Outside work, Charles enjoys spending time with his kids and teaching them anything outdoors or creative.

Robert stains, paints, and sands, holding every piece to Align's finish standards. His satisfaction comes from seeing a project completed with his finishes on it.

He knows a homeowner loves their cabinets when every finish looks right together, so he makes sure color stays consistent across every piece.  Off the clock, Robert enjoys playing with his beagles and builds cutting boards on the side.
