Michael Burke is the dreamer and visionary for NW Lifestyle Homes. Mike has been designing and building homes to maximize livability for more than 60 years. His innovative ideas provide the creative direction for the company. The greatest compliment you can give Mike is, "Your homes make a difference in our lives." When not working, Mike spends all of his free time on the job site.

When Lindy Burke began building homes in 1985, she started a family legacy. From interior design to doing the books, Lindy has brought bootstrap strength to NW Lifestyle Homes. She continues to be an inspirational member of the team.

Megan Atkinson brings leadership, planning, foresight, and landscape architectural design to NWLH. She aligns and prioritizes the strategy and systems for the team. Measure twice, cut once. Megan has designed landscapes all over the east side that match her client's spaces with their unique desires. She strives to increase each homeowner's joy and elevate the use of their outdoor living spaces. Megan has a B.A. in Economics from Bucknell University and an M.L.A. from the University of Washington.  With two kids in college and one in high school, Megan and her husband are starting to prep for life as empty nesters.

Mason Mawer is our builder, overseeing the entire construction process with a perfectionist's eye. Mason has an old-school, hands-on, get it done, tenacious work ethic that he learned growing up with twin brother Matt and their builder parents. With that foundation, Mason has been building homes and delighting homeowners for the last 20 years. Off the jobsite, Mason can be found floating in Neah Bay chasing Chinook and telling stories about the one that got away.

As interpreter of Michael's vision, Matthew Mawer embraces the idea for each project, adds his own unique style, and crafts original home designs for NWLH. Together, Matt and Michael test boundaries and create a new normal for residential design and livability in the northwest. In addition to being fluent in
Michael-ese, Matt has 20 years of architectural design experience, a B.Arch. from Washington State University and a horribly misguided belief of one day joining the professional golf tour.

Meg Zook comes to NWLH with a great eye and a plethora of experiences in the design world. Having studied at San Diego State University and the London Inchbald School of Design, Meg has the ability to hone in on color, texture, and form. Meg's years in the fashion industry have contributed to her focus on the customer and the desire to build an excellent selection and documentation process. Meg's mantra in every situation is, "There must be a better way." When not at work, Meg is in her kitchen testing recipes for the perfect old-fashioned chocolate cake!

Phil comes to NWLH with 50 years of remodeling experience after running a successful small business with his wife, Karen.  For two years running, Phil was named one of the top 10 Remodelers of the Year in the area.  Phil is calm, cool, and collected, and he operates with no drama.  He has extensive skills, is a natural mentor, and packs a great deal of experience into his overflowing (extremely heavy!) toolbox.  On the weekends, Phil loves spending time with his family and 4 grandkids.

Kevin is a highly trained lead carpenter/superintendent and he values perfectionism.  Originally a painter, he pays close attention to detail, and he has very high standards.  Kevin earned his stripes at NWLH by doing a 7-year apprenticeship in new construction and remodels.  At this point, Kevin has learned and participated in almost every aspect of putting a new house together or refreshing an existing one.  Kevin enjoys golfing, camping, and hiking in his free time.

Puna is quickly learning the ropes in construction at NW Lifestyle Homes.  He comes with a strong service background, and Puna’s sunny disposition, positive attitude, and interest in learning new things is highly evident to all who meet him.  He takes on every task willingly, and he does it right the first time.  Outside of work, Puna is a happy new father to sweet Baby Aston.
