Hello, my name is Micahlyn. Managing Norsk Builders' paperwork and financials enables me to work from home and be with our children full time. I get to handle administrative, financial, and advertising tasks. Since graduating from the U of M with my BA in Psychology, I became a Licensed MN Real Estate Agent, with experience in property management, assisting first-time homebuyers, and investment Real Estate.

Ben Vaage


Owner & Contractor

norskbuild@gmail.com

Welcome, I'm Ben. After gaining experience working for construction crews and with talented contractors, I started my own company (2012). I am experienced in new construction and remodels. I do it all- frame to finish. Carpentry is my calling and I feel rewarded when customers are excited with their finished product.


My wife and I were married in 2015. We have 4 young children. We closed on our home in 2020 and have been enjoying making it our own.


I appreciate the opportunity to work with you.​

Our Crew

David Knutson

Senior Carpenter

Hey, I'm David Knutson, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in media production from the University of Northwestern St. Paul. In my free time I enjoy watching films, working on my motorcycle, and spending time with my girlfriend. Having the opportunity to work with Norsk Builders has improved my knowledge in construction and given me opportunities to learn about project management. I look forward to the future and the plans that God has for me! 

Paul Ripplinger

Senior Carpenter

Hey-O, my name is Paul. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from North Central University. I enjoy spending my time hunting, fishing, and doing things with my beautiful wife and golden retriever; Woods. Working with Ben has taught me so much, from attention to detail to developing my craft in the construction industry. I love being able to work with my hands in order to achieve customers' dreams.
