Starting out her professional career as a Registered Nurse, Diane never dreamed that one day she would be in the remodeling industry. Fast forward to today, Diane’s passion for business and service has propelled her and her husband, Chad. In the early years, she quietly supported their legacy company, Hatfield Builders & Remodelers, on her days off from the hospital. During her nursing career, she worked critical care, surgery recovery and holds a Certification in Case Management, CCM. In 2014, she ‘retired’ from nursing to work alongside her husband, Chad, as her passion for their remodeling business grew. She loves seeing the transformations and supporting the teams that make it happen through marketing, process improvement and communication. Diane has been recognized as one of Professional Remodeler Magazine’s 40 under 40 in 2017 for her work on processes to facilitate communication. Her strength is in support of small business from HR, accounting, customer service, marketing, and almost everything in between. Diane is proud to be a part of Alair Homes where commitment to service and excellence is key.

 
Cody comes from a long line of carpenters. Since he was 15 years old, he worked in construction with his family during the summer, starting as a helper and moving up to a lead carpenter position at the age of 22. He eventually went out on his own and started a tile and wood installation company, which over time became a kitchen/bathroom design and remodeling company. He then worked as a Project Manager in the remodeling industry for several years before becoming the Design Manager at Hatfield Builders. As the Design Manager, Cody reviewed all of the drawings and designs to ensure the accuracy and feasibility of each project. He worked closely with clients before, during and after construction, to ensure that the scope of work and expectations were clear and understood. Cody definitely has what it takes to takes to walk our clients through their projects. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters camping and just hanging out, as well as woodworking and turning pens on the Lathe.

Upon graduating from Texas A&M he moved to Mexico and worked in his families ranching and farming business, breeding Portuguese Lusitano horses and following in his fathers footsteps to become the number one ranked professional bullfighter on horseback (Rejoneador).

He has done consulting for several technology companies on a global scale and is very enthusiastic about how the Alair process can positively influence the experience of families that set out to change their living environment.

 
Jakes comes from a family of custom builders so it was inevitable that he would eventually work in the industry as well.  After graduating from Texas State University, Jake went to work for his father to learn the family business.  After working as a Project Manager for two years he started his own custom home building company while continuing to work as a Project Manager.  After things started to slow down during the 2008 recession Jake decided to try his hand in the wholesale distribution industry.  What was meant to be temporary until things picked back up turned into an 11 ½ year career as an Operations Manager and Branch Manager for multiple distribution hubs where he really learned to hone his management and customer service skills.  With that skill set, it was time to get back into the construction industry where he was looking for a company that aligned with his values of honesty, integrity, quality, and superior customer service.  After speaking with multiple Alair team members it was a mutual decision that this was the right fit.  In his spare time, Jake enjoys working in his garden, cooking, live music, and spending quality time with his friends and family.
