Chuck Spinelli

President and Founder

I started Spinell Homes almost 30 years ago with the goal of providing Alaskans with safe, high-quality, personalized homes and today my mission remains the same. My wife Jackie and I have called Alaska home since 1984. We raised our three kids here, which fuel my passion to help Alaskans find the perfect home for their family. Whether it’s first-time homebuyers or people looking to build their perfect home from the ground up, I’m proud to have been a part of building more than 3,200 homes. I’m committed to giving customers the highest quality home and customer service, and I know we’ve done the job when people say they’re proud to own a Spinell Home.

Spinell Homes isn’t just like family to me - two of my three children joined the family business, making nine generations of Spinellis in the construction industry. I’m proud to watch my children carry on the company’s legacy of top-notch customer care, innovative design and family values. I’ve also enjoyed watching many of Spinell Homes’ employees grow up at this company. I care deeply about my community, Jackie and I volunteer and support many community organizations. From building better homes to building up our community, I believe in making Alaska a safe and healthy home for Alaskan families.

Andre Spinelli

Vice President of Design and Development

My after-school job as a high school student was at Spinell Homes, where I would do odd jobs around construction sites helping crews. The experience gave me a hands-on opportunity to learn every aspect of building. I left Alaska to attend college and for a brief time pursued a career in professional snowboarding but Alaska was always my home. I returned to Spinell Homes in 2000 to pursue my passion of designing homes.

I am active on the Board of Directors for the Cold Climate Housing Research Center, the Alaska State Home Building Association and the Anchorage Home Builders Association. Anchorage homebuyers face a number of challenges including harsh weather, high-energy costs and limited space. My goal is to have Spinell Homes solve these problems for Alaska homebuyers by finding creative ways to continue new construction projects and to build every home with high standards of energy efficiency.

Lauren Spinelli

Vice President of Sales and Marketing

I take pride in the home I’ve built for my family and I want to provide other Alaskans with opportunities for safe housing that fits their budget. My background is in education and I use that training to help homebuyers through the process of purchasing a home. Buying your first home or building from the ground up for the first time shouldn’t be a daunting process; it should be exciting and fun. I meet with every homebuyer to answer questions, discuss options and educate customers about the process.

I hope to give people a comprehensive experience with Spinell Homes. Providing a home for your family is something to take pride in and I want to help Alaskans achieve that dream. My hope is that by providing high-quality homes, top-notch customer care and best-in-the-business warranties, homebuyers will come to us for all their housing needs as their family grows.

Lezlie Arnold

Administrative Assistant/Warranty Secretary

I believe in going above and beyond to make every customer’s experience with Spinell Homes an excellent one. In my 12 years with Spinell Homes, I’ve learned a lot from the skilled professionals I’m lucky enough to call my coworkers. My duties include processing construction paperwork and warranties, and assisting the administrative team. Our commitment to our customers extends through every step of the process and shows in the dedication of every Spinell Homes employee. I enjoy being part of a team that offers affordable homes to Alaska families. My hobbies include playing softball and spending time with friends and family.

Gina Lodge

Residential Designer

Housing is what I do. As a child, my mother would take me to home shows and my father would give me lumber for Christmas. I eventually turned my childhood love for homebuilding, into an exciting career where I get to make each house become a home for a special Alaska family.



I’ve seen Spinell evolve over the past 20 years. Almost every house we build is customized for the buyer’s lifestyle and the family’s needs. From extra tall shoe closets to the perfect sized mudroom for the family, I help the homeowner get what’s important for their family. Every house is created with the same passion, whether it’s a family’s first home or empty nest home.


Lindsay Schroder

Accounting & Finance

My family is my whole world, I am extremely close to my parents and siblings. Family is at the heart of Spinell Homes and I’m proud to work for a company that lives my core values. I’ve been a member of the team for more than 20 years, and it’s because of my coworkers, my work family, that I enjoy reporting to work every day.

At Spinell Homes, we don’t cut corners. We work hard to provide each homeowner with safe and secure housing, while also giving them the home of their dreams. Spinell’s spirit of family extends to all Alaskans. I appreciate the work we do at Spinell because not only do we build homes, the company is committed to generously giving back to the Anchorage community.

MANAGERS

Luis Garcia

Construction Manager

Spinell Homes is a company that gives all of its employees the opportunity to grow within the company. More than 20 years ago I started as a laborer and have worked my way up to Construction Manager. I love every aspect of my job but my favorite part is teaching others what I have learned throughout the years. I encourage every employee to take pride and respect in the homes we build, as if we are building them for our own families. In my position at Spinell Homes, I help build safe and secure homes by following all of the municipal regulations and safety controls, and ensuring that everyone who works on our homes does the same. I make certain that customers can safely walk through their homes during the construction phase, and always make myself available to answer questions or concerns. I enjoy living, working and traveling around Alaska with my family. In my free time I exercise and love to take my wife out dancing.

SUPERVISORS

La Atanoa

Supervisor

In my 19 years with Spinell Homes, I’ve worked my way up from a laborer to construction supervisor. Holding a number of positions within Spinell Homes allows me to understand every step of the construction process. As the construction supervisor, my job is to make every possible effort to build safe homes meeting the Spinell standard of quality and customization. I provide customers with as much information as possible to help them identify appropriate options and assist them in making informed decisions

I take pride in building homes that are personalized and customized to the individual homeowner. Every Alaskan deserves their dream home and I enjoy working for a company that provides affordable options for starter families and first-time homebuyers. Outside of work I enjoy attending church, camping and fishing with my family.

Carlos S. Garcia

Supervisor

Working at Spinell Homes for more than 20 years, I’m proud to have helped hundreds of families make their dream home a reality. I believe everyone deserves a safe and reliable home, and I don’t believe the home-buying process should be intimidating. As a Spinell Homes supervisor, I make sure this happens by overseeing the home building process from start to finish, ensuring every step passes inspection. For homeowners, I’m available for questions during every step and enjoy doing the final walk through and seeing their smiles as they look at their new home. 

Every home Spinell Homes builds is unique and caters to the homeowner, we don’t believe in the term “cookie cutter.” My coworkers at Spinell Homes are like family to me and I enjoy working for a company with strong values and a commitment to Alaskans. In my supervisor position at Spinell Homes I coordinate jobs with subcontractors, supervise side jobs, coordinate inspections, complete walk-throughs and oversee our staff. 

I’ve been blessed with three beautiful women in my life, my wife and two daughters. They keep my life interesting as we spend time enjoying the Alaska outdoors camping, fishing, hiking and traveling.


Allen Huntley

Supervisor

I’ve always enjoyed building; prior to working at Spinell Homes I built yachts and planes. In my 16 years with Spinell Homes I’ve worked with a talented team to build some of the finest homes in Alaska. Spinell Homes are quality homes for an affordable price, something that is tough to do in Alaska. I enjoy supervising the hard working team at Spinell Homes and watching Alaskans find the home of their dreams. Outside of work I enjoy riding motorcycles.

WARRANTY

Jack Taylor

Warranty Supervisor

I’ve worked in the construction industry for 30 years. During my lengthy career, I’ve worked in every phase, which gives me a well-rounded perspective of the building process. As the Warranty Supervisor at Spinell Homes, I help with their best-in-the-business warranties. I enjoy meeting with new homeowners and sharing their excitement as they get the keys. It feels good knowing they’re covered by Spinell’s warranty, so the only thing they need to worry about is settling into their new homes with their families.

REAL ESTATE AGENTS

Stephanie Gamble

Real Estate Agent - Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group

I was raised in Alaska with real estate in my blood. After growing up with several family members in the real estate industry, I began my own career in 2006. I am a licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group. I currently represent Spinell Homes in the Mat-Su Valley, a community that is growing by leaps and bounds.

I enjoy working with a family-owned company committed to helping other families secure their dreams of owning a home. I enjoy showing families what the Valley has to offer including exciting new developments and breathtaking views. When I’m not working, you’ll find me at the football fields or wrestling tournaments cheering on my sons.

Questa Locke

Real Estate Agent - Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group

With my background in finance I understand the importance of finding a home that comfortably fits a family’s budget. I’ve been working with Spinell Homes as a real estate agent for more than four years and I specialize in new construction. I enjoy new construction because it gives people the opportunity to customize a home and purchase exactly what they need for their unique family. I enjoy meeting with new customers to discuss floor plans, neighborhoods and upgrades.

My role is to help buyers get the home that works best for their family and stays within their budget. Affordability stretches beyond the mortgage, it extends to upkeep and energy. Spinell Homes offer long-term affordable options because their homes are energy efficient, feature functional floor plans and come with an excellent warranty. I enjoy playing soccer, basketball and fishing with my family.

Kevin Sigafoos

Real Estate Agent - Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group

I started my real estate career in 1978 and quickly learned my passion was in new home construction. In my nearly 40 years in the industry, helping homebuyers realize their dream of new homeownership never gets old. I get excited about the prospect of each new home rising out of the ground and what it represents to that new homeowner. I enjoy helping build dreams, neighborhoods and communities at-large.

When I was given the opportunity to work with Alaska’s largest homebuilder, Spinell Homes, I jumped at the chance. Spinell Homes is a family-owned and operated business, with a proven track record of responsible and safe construction, and above and beyond customer care. Together, we have built a strong reputation in real estate and new home construction in Alaska.
