ABOUT

Sam Kapala

Preconstruction Project Manager

Though Sam loved working with his hands at an early age, it wasn’t until after he graduated from Williams College and tested out the life of a touring musician that he began his career in construction. Over many years as a frame-to-finish carpenter working on custom homes in the midcoast region and beyond, Sam found that he consistently gravitated toward working closely with clients, design professionals, and other trades to bring buildings to life. While his tool belt (mostly) stays in the truck now, he finds the best days are those that include both desk and dust, and at least a few minutes to geek out over the latest building science, the best way to execute a tricky detail, or the coolest new power tools.

Sam lives in an old house in Freeport with his wife, their two boys, a wild dog, and a mellow cat, where he always has at least one house project in the works.

KG CULTURE, MISSION + VALUES

As part of the Prefab team atKnickerbocker Group, Sam values working with great people to build amazing spaces in innovative ways with maximal impact for our communities and minimal impact on our environment, both now and long into the future.

LIFE IN MAINE

In winter, Sam is never happier than when on cross-country skis at Pineland Farms or Rangeley Lakes Trails, and in the summer, he loves taking family and friends out on Casco Bay in their little boat. He also enjoys running in the woods with the dog, and taking photographs when he can find the time.
