Introducing - Clayton Davis - Project Manager - Dubbe-Moulder Architects

Clayton Davis’ role as Project Manager for the Trail Creek Crossing development has given him a chance to show off both his design talent and his leadership skills. His prior experience has included historic renovation and preservation projects, custom homes, and land planning projects.

Clayton’s love of the outdoors propelled him to complete a solo trek to both Annapurna and Mt. Everest Base Camp. Originally from Pennsylvania, he arrived in Idaho’s Teton Valley in 2005 searching for world-class powder. Like most skiers that come here, he was not disappointed! In addition to skiing, mountaineering, backpacking and white water canoeing, Clayton also finds occasion to jump on his mountain bike and traverse the many trails here in Teton Valley.

When this former Eagle Scout finds “down time”, he can be identified by his faded and beat up Philadelphia Phillies ball cap and a tattered Hawaiian shirt. His life was recently made even more worth living when he witnessed the victory of the Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2008 World Series. When they do it again in another 28 years, Clayton will more than likely be found celebrating under a swath of gray hair on Long Beach Island.

Introducing - Ben Weisbeck - Architectural Drafter - Dubbe-Moulder Architects

Ben Weisbeck’s vocational background is based in the construction field. From pouring concrete to framing, his exposure to the build process has run the gamut. After having achieved his Bachelor Degree in Architectural Technology, Ben is now driven to pursue the design side of the design-build industry.

Since starting at Dubbe-Moulder Architects in July of 2007, Ben has been assigned to multiple high end residential projects in addition to tackling drafting work for Trail Creek Crossing. During his employment at DMA, he has demonstrated admirable problem solving skills and an innate ability to communicate effectively at all levels of a project.

Originally from Upstate New York, Ben started cross country skiing at the age of 3, while he managed to work his way into downhill by the time he was 7. The motivating factor for him to move to Jackson Hole was to “experience some of the best skiing in the lower 48”. Unfortunately for Ben, he sustained a case of tendonitis to his ankle during his very first ski season in Jackson Hole. This battle wound brings him one step closer to becoming a local.

Introducing - Kurt Dubbe - Principal - Dubbe-Moulder Architects

After almost thirty years in the architectural industry, Kurt Dubbe has established himself as a key player in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming architectural community. In addition to maintaining his role as principal at Dubbe-Moulder Architects for over ten years, his passion for historic preservation has led him to be assigned as the Wyoming advisor for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Kurt turns a critical eye toward the character of the building, sustainability issues, and budgetary limitations. Having completed hundreds of projects throughout his career, he is well-versed in guiding interdisciplinary teams through complex and unique project related issues. This ability has proven especially critical on the mixed-use development of Trail Creek Crossing.

When Kurt is not focused on his vocation, he likes to enjoy a tasty microbrew. Additionally, he is adept at woodworking and has been designing and constructing his own furniture for years.
