Meet the Team

Steamboat Springs native, Cody Kurowski, is the President of Alpine Master Builders, a custom design + build company, owned in conjunction with developer-partner, Corporex Companies, a privately held investment firm that has been involved with development in Steamboat Springs for over twenty years.

Kurowski’s deep-rooted passion for building and design led to his earning a Civil Engineering degree from Colorado School of Mines. Post graduation, Kurowski served as Senior Mine Engineer and General Foreman, leading operations in underground mines worldwide. After a decade of working in the mining industry, Kurowski decided to return to his roots in Steamboat Springs to continue his professional career in design and construction, developing his own contracting business, then joining Alpine Master Builders as Field Operations Manager, working his way up to President and part owner of the company in 2023.

“I am ecstatic to build upon an organization that emphasizes quality, service and efficiency,” said Cody Kurowski, President, Alpine Master Builders. “We have the tools, we have the successful proven business model, and most importantly we have the people. The future of Alpine Master Builders is strong, and we are committed to being the premier builder in the Yampa valley.”

Since Alpine Master Builders’ inception in 2020, the company has completed 9 luxury homes ranging from 4,000-8,000 square-feet, with six new custom luxury residences currently under construction at Alpine Mountain Ranch & Club, targeting 2024 and early 2025 completions.

Alpine Master Builders’ design + build services include comprehensive development, project management, architectural design and oversight, engineering, and construction management functions, as well as working hand in hand with independent architects and contractors on behalf of clients.

When Cody is not building custom luxury residences, you will find him in the backcountry, on a lake, or spending time with his wife and daughters.

Steamboat Springs native Thomas Allen joined Alpine Master Builders with 18 years+ experience and deep-rooted knowledge of all facets of the construction industry. Thomas grew up working for Native Excavating in Steamboat Springs before attending the University of Colorado where he received a B.A. in Business Management and completed the CU Real Estate Certificate program. Thomas spent the next 12 years building luxury custom homes in Boulder, Colorado. With a desire to be closer to family and the outdoor pursuits he loves, Thomas returned to his hometown of Steamboat where he provides field oversight at Alpine Master Builders. When Thomas is not working in the field, you can find him in the mountains skiing, biking, fishing and hunting.

Pete moved to Colorado after attending the University of Richmond and has spent the past 14 years all over the state. He joined Alpine Master Builders with a millworks and carpentry background and draws experience from a diverse career as a backcountry ski guide, large-scale event tour manager, graphic designer and brand manager. When Pete is not tracking down unique materials for a new build on the ranch, you can find him working on his own house, skiing, camping, playing golf or on a surf trip somewhere warm.

Having lived in Colorado for the past 25 years, longtime local Sheryl Barrett serves as the Bookkeeper for Alpine Master Builders. When Sheryl is not streamlining processes for the Design + Build firm or utilizing her sharp accounting skills, she can be found riding her motorcycle, and spending time with her family outdoors. A former bar owner, this team member knows how to handle finances. And a crowd.

Born and raised on the east coast outside of Baltimore, Maryland, Hank was lured out west by skiing and wide open skies. After attending the University of Colorado studying Mathematics, Hank served 8 years in the Army as an Engineering Officer in the Reserves, and then began a career in construction. After working in the multifamily and commercial industry in Denver, Hank transitioned into a role as a Superintendent at Alpine Master Builders, inspired by his passion for design and fostering better building practices. Hank can be found skiing through the trees at Steamboat Resort in the winter and running trails throughout Routt County in summer months.
