UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Andrew Kolbeck for his entrepreneurial leadership in the construction industry. Mr. Kolbeck has extensive experience in the field and has built an enduring reputation as a custom homebuilder in southeastern Wisconsin. With a foundation in strategy and analytics, he is positioning his business for personal success and positive community impact.
Before beginning his professional career, Mr. Kolbeck earned a Bachelor of Science in business at the University of Notre Dame, followed by a Master of Business Administration in finance, strategic management and entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
A Notable Career in Finance, Analytics, and Strategy
Mr. Kolbeck has held several prominent roles at major financial institutions across the U.S. and made significant contributions. Though he was often asked to relocate to large cities, he chose to stay near his roots in southeastern Wisconsin. In 2020, Mr. Kolbeck began developing communities, and over the past several years has been inspired to contribute even more directly to his community through homebuilding.
Building Joseph Douglas Homes
In 2025, Mr. Kolbeck acquired Joseph Douglas Homes, a custom homebuilding company founded in 1998, and quickly found numerous opportunities. The business's first project was to build the infrastructure for a major development near Lake Michigan, an initiative that brought Mr. Kolbeck to the industry full-time. Seeing something on paper come to life inspired him, and he has never looked back from this new career direction.
At Joseph Douglas Homes, Mr. Kolbeck leads land acquisition efforts and oversees entitlement processes, drafts property contracts and more. As a single-family home builder based in southeastern Wisconsin, he aims to introduce boutique communities to the region. Mr. Kolbeck's mission is to provide clients with reliable support and help them allocate their investments to what matters most to them.
Reasons for Success and Ambition for the Future
Though his participation in the finance industry has been somewhat reduced, Mr. Kolbeck acknowledges the impact this experience had on him. Even now, the strategic thinking instilled by his work in finance informs his business decisions, a problem-solving toolkit he relies on every day. In combination with his hard work and discipline, this experience has empowered him for success in homebuilding.
Moving forward, Mr. Kolbeck aims to continue building custom homes for communities across southeastern Wisconsin. His work has already received numerous awards and accolades from the Metro Builders Association and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Within the next few years, Mr. Kolbeck intends to expand into new markets while maintaining the same quality standards.
