Owner Ben Gebhardt comes from a long line of engineers.* His interest in the trades and instinctive grasp of the core science behind building formed the foundation of what came to be Blue Sound Construction, Inc. Originally, however, building was meant to support a writerly tendency. (Somewhere beneath the stacks of plans, he has a half-finished novel that may yet see the light of day.)
