Founder & President

About Justin

I started working in the home improvement industry when I was 9 years old and have spent the last 30+ years constantly learning how to deliver a better customer experience. Home Improvement has always been my passion.  I have OCD Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which means I feel the need to check things repeatedly and perform rituals over and over. Through the years our company has taken on this culture of obsessing over the details for our customers to always strive to provide the best experience possible.

When I am not in the office, you will find me at the local theatre watching my daughter perform in musicals, traveling around with my son’s hockey team, and going on a long bike ride with my wife through the beautiful Chicago area.

Procurement/IT Manager

About Matt

I’ve been in the Window & Door industry for over 25+ years.  I’ve labored on job sites, loaded/unloaded trucks, sales, purchasing, just to name a few things.  I just recently had my 10 year anniversary with Next Door & Window as the Procurement & IT Manager.  I truly enjoy innovating new systems and procedures at our office.  Always trying to improve upon things we currently do, I am never satisfied.

When I’m not at the office you generally can find me at a table somewhere playing/teaching a strategic board or card game. Often I’m trying to convince my co-workers that we have enough time to play one during our lunch break

I love spending time with wife and daughter.  It’s no secret we enjoy visiting Walt Disney World in Florida & my family in Denver.

Operations Manager

About Hugh

I am the Operations Manager at NEXT Door and Window. I started my journey with the company in April 2007 as the first showroom coordinator. As the company grew, I took on the role of Installation Manager, where I wore many hats, managing departments like installation, service, warehouse, and remeasure. Today, I oversee several production teams, including Re-Measure, Pre-Finish, Installation, Warehouse Operations, and our Service Department. My goal has always been to exceed customer expectations and ensure that everyone is happy with their window and door purchases. Outside of work, I love spending time in the great outdoors—hiking, camping, golfing, and relaxing by the fire. I also enjoy cooking and grilling for my wife and family. To me, life is all about loving what you do and cherishing the love you receive in return.

Marketing Director

About Phil

I am the Director of Marketing at NEXT Door & Window, a position I have held since 2022. My journey in marketing, advertising, and branding has spanned over 30 years, beginning my career in prominent advertising agencies in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver, and Des Moines. During those first two decades, I focused on client service, project management, and strategy, collaborating with esteemed clients such as Ralston Purina, RJR Nabisco, Pillsbury, General Motors, Busch Entertainment, Philips Oral Healthcare, Boeing, and Pella Windows & Doors.
In 2006, I relocated my family to Denver, where I continued my career in smaller marketing firms and eventually established my own consulting practice. My entry into the home remodeling industry began while managing the Pella Windows and Doors retail marketing account at the Integer agency. In 2019, I made the transition to client-side marketing with Lifetime Home Remodeling in Denver.
I reside in Denver with my wonderful wife, Emily, and our two dogs, Hurly and Max. We are proud parents of three adult children—Maggie, Will, and Malcolm. In our leisure time, Emily and I love hiking, golfing, walking our dogs, watching movies, and enjoying quality moments with friends and family.

My marketing specialties include brand strategy and identity development, account planning, communications planning, lead generation, customer service, and project management. I am eager to leverage my expertise to contribute to our team and drive our success.
