With over 15 years experience in the design field, Melissa’s communication skills and attention to detail make building your dream home enjoyable.

With a strong background in hands-on construction, Austin Champman brings years of real-world experience to every Cobblestone project. He began working in the building trades at 18, gaining a wide range of skills while working for established builders and independently. Currently, Austin is focusing on homebuilding and specializing in interior finishes. His dedication, craftsmanship, and deep understanding of the building process make him an essential part of the Cobblestone team.
Brian Finkbeiner understands the importance of customer service as well as he understands homebuilding. Before working at Cobblestone, Brian worked in the restaurant business, which is all about customer service. Brian also is intimately familiar with the entire construction process. He earned a degree in Construction Management.
Nick Pratt has two degrees, one in Construction Management and another in Business. Perhaps it’s more relevant, though, that he worked in the skilled trades industry. Nick knows homebuilding from the perspective of a skilled craftsman as well as from a project manager. Nick’s customers always praise his skills at communicating with them throughout the project.
Joe Aspin grew up in the building industry learning to do everything from plumbing to framing from the ground up. That experience gives him an intimate understanding of the most efficient and best ways to construct each project. Joe is the third generation in a family affiliated with the construction business and enjoys finding creative ways to help home owners build their dream home.

Here at Cobblestone Homes, our team members are dedicated to the principle that if it’s important to you, it’s important to us. We live and work here too. Never before has the Great Lakes Bay Region seen a team of professionals with this level of expertise assembled under one roof.What matters more to you, though, is the team at Cobblestone never forgets we don’t just construct buildings. Mark and Melissa Wahl commit that our team always remembers that what we’re doing is creating homes where children take first steps, families gather to celebrate and memories are made.
The process of creating your dream home starts with our New Home Consultants, Matt Sheahan and Marshall Mannion.
With over a decade of experience at Cobblestone, Matt Sheahan can explain to you everything there is to know about creating your home. He was previously a Lead Builder, where he learned the ins and outs of the building process. Along the way, he became an expert in the many features of Cobblestone homes. He holds a degree in Business Management.
Helping people has always been in Marshall Mannion’s DNA, from being a Surgical Technologist to working with families at Cobblestone. His hands-on experience rebuilding, renovating and selling homes in the Great Lakes Bay Region gives him the knowledge to help you build your dream home.
Sourcing the best materials and making sure that just the right amount of product is ordered for your home is critically important these days. That's why Allec and Kevin play such important roles at Cobblestone.
Allec LaVielle, Director of Purchasing, is committed to meeting customer expectations. His previous experience in industrial manufacturing helps keep materials on time and within budget. Graduating from Northwood University with a business degree concentration in Finance keeps his focus on finding value and savings for our customers. Allec lives in Saginaw Township with his family and their two dogs.
Estimator Kevin Grudzinski gives homeowners a promise for what it will cost to build and power their homes. Cobblestone never gives estimates. Instead, Cobblestone commits to a final home price before the building begins. They also give homeowners the promise of the home’s performance rating. Kevin is the key to making that promise. After a 20-year career working in sales and management for the construction supply industry, Kevin knows materials. He earned a degree in Construction Management from Central Michigan University. Kevin is actively involved through the Great Lakes Bay Region.
One of Cobblestone's core tenets is to provide customer care beyond industry standards. That's exactly what Ashley and Thressa provide to our homeowners.
Ashley Semp, Director of Client Experience, will be with you the day you move into your home. And she’ll still be available years later if any questions arise. We call this after-purchase service “Cobblestone Care.” Through this program, Ashley is responsible for troubleshooting any issues that come up. She handles all the important details, like reminding homeowners when it’s time to change the furnace filter. Having been with Cobblestone for almost a decade, Ashley understands how to match expectations and experiences. Most of our business is referrals, and Ashley is a major reason for it.
When you walk into Cobblestone, you can expect to be greeted by our friendly, organized office manager, Thressa Irish. Her background in business management and running her own store helps her keep Cobblestone running smoothly. She also heads up management of our executive lease program.
Shelby Wahl is an enthusiastic presence at Cobblestone Homes, where she’s been immersed since childhood. Her role is vital, bringing a youthful perspective to Cobblestone Homes. Growing up on job sites and in meetings, Shelby has developed a deep appreciation for what building homes means to our customers. Her involvement is a testament to the importance of nurturing passion and dedication from a young age in any business.
Keeping everything balanced with as many moving pieces as building a home can be daunting. That's why you need Shawn and Kristina on your side. They are unparalleled in their attention to detail.
Controller Shawn Boelter’s job is to make sure everything comes together – bank paperwork and real estate transaction details – before a family’s move-in date. She helps Cobblestone families navigate the financial details of building a home. You can rest easy at night knowing Shawn is on your team and protecting your investment.
Bookkeeper Kristina Stainsby knows that a sharp eye for detail is essential in her role at Cobblestone.
