Nate Rempel
Partner
Nate is the proud Co-Owner of Alair Bow Valley and a third-generation home builder. Nate built a foundation of skills beginning at a young age on his father's job sites in the BC interior and the Bow Valley. In his early 20s, he and his brother started a framing and renovation company (and moved to Central Alberta) and continued the legacy of their forefathers. Nate joined Alair in 2016 and has not looked back, building on his strengths with the team at Alair Homes!
The greatest joy for Nate is creating lasting relationships with clients and the many amazing industry partners Alair has. Without whom, our numerous award-winning projects and raving reviews would not be a possibility. As an owner, Nate emphasizes the goal of consistent improvement of the company, industry and himself.
Away from the job site, you will find Nate spending time with his wife, Darby and their 5 kids. There is always a project of some sort on the go! To recharge, they pack the family up for a hike or picnic in the mountains, play board games around the dining table, or settle down for a family movie night and popcorn.

Mike Ronnie
Project Manager
Mike has been a project manager since 2016 and recently joined Alair Homes – Red Deer in February 2021. He has always enjoyed building things from start to finish, dating back to his childhood when he would play with Lego or model cars. Mike holds a Bachelor of Science in Business with a major in management, marketing, and international business from Minot State University, North Dakota. During that time, he played college baseball for four years on a scholarship.
Mike is amazed at how connected the Alair network is. He is honoured to be part of the team atmosphere that has been established. In terms of what he brings to the team, he is known for his organization and dedication to getting the job done well and on time.
Mike often refers to building a new custom home as a "journey." To him, it's more than just constructing a new house or renovation. It starts as a business relationship, followed by creating a vision and game plan, and finally executing the plan. His ultimate goal is to build someone's dream space and develop a lasting relationship in the process.
Mike spends his free time with his wife Teale and their two young boys Holden and Weston. In the summer, they enjoy biking, camping, and playing soccer and tee ball outdoors. In the winter, the boys are just starting to get into skating and sledding.
