Meet the builder behind your home
Nordic Homes was founded on a simple belief: a home is the backdrop for a family's life, and it deserves a builder who cares as much as you do. Based in the Twin Cities and building throughout Buffalo, MN and the Northwest Metro, we bring craftsmanship and clarity to every custom home.
Ryan Lundgren
Founder & Builder
Business acumen meets a love of craftsmanship
A graduate of the University of Minnesota Duluth with a Bachelor's in Finance, Ryan combines strong business sense with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. He's personally involved in every project — from initial design to the final walk-through.
“What I love most about home building is the opportunity to create something meaningful — seeing a vision turn into a tangible space that people will live in. Homes are the backdrop for families' lives, and I get to help bring those dreams to life.”
Away from the job site, Ryan lives with his wife Michelle, their two sons Graham and Lincoln, and their rescue dog Benny. When he's not building, you'll likely find him on the golf course or cheering on Minnesota sports.
