Master Builders Association President Aims to Continue Association's Legacy as Trusted Source for Homebuilders

“I am thrilled and honored to be serving as President of the Board of Directors,” said Tenhulzen. “After 25 years of being a member, I continue to be inspired by people around me who selflessly give their time to help continue the success of the association.”

With a degree in Exercise Physiology and Business focused on Ergonomics from Washington State University and a Master’s in Human Resources from Southern New Hampshire University, Tenhulzen began her career in Corporate Wellness. Tenhulzen then transitioned into the homebuilding industry when she started her own safety and consulting company, Safety Resource Management and Consulting. She sold her company and joined Tenhulzen Residential seven years later and now serves as the Executive Producer where she oversees the business operations, which includes Human Resources, Sales, and Safety Management.

“Our goal is to build homes, not barriers,” stated Tenhulzen. “The advocacy work that the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties does will help generations to come set down roots in the wonderful region we call home.”

Tenhulzen is an active member of the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club and enjoys watching her son Matthew play football. In their spare time the Tenhulzen family enjoy hiking, skiing, cooking and going on long walks with Isabelle, their black lab.
