The Landsted Team

Mark Erickson, President

Born and raised in Hudson, Wisconsin, Mark earned his degree from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, before getting into the residential development business back in the early 80s. He started Landsted Builders, Inc. in 1986, when he saw a need for a high-quality custom builder in the St. Croix Valley. The company name was changed to Landsted Homes in 1993.  In 2003, Landsted Homes, Inc. was dissolved, and Mark and his wife, Karin, started Landsted, LLC.  Mark's commitment to integrity, superior design, and customer service has paid off by creating hundreds of satisfied customers and beautiful homes throughout western Wisconsin and the eastern Twin Cities Metro area. It is his goal to provide Landsted clients with the finest product and most comprehensive homebuilding process in the industry.  Mark is a licensed builder and real estate broker in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Chris Adams, Production Manager

Chris, a Hudson native, was hired by Mark Erickson in 1995.  During the ensuing years Chris has learned the business from the ground up.  In 2003, when Erickson started Landsted, LLC, he asked Adams to join him in the Production Manager position.  A graduate of the University of Wisconsin at River Falls, Chris brings dedication and enthusiasm to his position each day.  You will find Chris highly organized, articulate, and dedicated to using the finest materials and craftsmen to minimize warranty callbacks and provide for our clients a great product and a superior value. 
Chris is not satisfied until a project is done…and done right.

Steve West, Designer

Steve received his bachelor's degree in landscape architecture, graduating with honors from Iowa State University at Ames in 1989. Since that time he worked on designing residential developments before gravitating towards architectural drafting, illustrating, and residential design. Steve understands structure very well, and is a master at interpreting the lifestyle needs and tastes of our clients on paper. Steve joined Landsted Homes, Inc. in 1995, after several years with Putman Planning and Design and the Charles Cudd Company. Detail oriented and very well organized, Steve leaves nothing to chance, no questions unasked--or unanswered.  West also accepted a position with Landsted, LLC in 2003.  Steve’s best quality from a design standpoint is his ability to listen. He has designed all Landsted, LLC homes, as well as four Reggie award winners in the past six years.
