Nate Rorie brings both passion and purpose to his work at Bouma. Inspired at an early age by watching his father take pride in the homes he built, Nate developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the impact of meaningful work. That perspective continues to shape the way he approaches every project today.

His career path has been anything but linear, but each turn added valuable experience and insight. Guided by the belief that every step has purpose, Nate is grateful for the journey that led him to Bouma and for the opportunity to contribute to projects that leave a lasting mark on the community.

In his role, Nate describes himself as a “lead blocker for the team”—someone who clears the path so others can succeed. He takes responsibility for the big picture, while also managing the details: analyzing costs, aligning manpower, planning materials, and building the connections that keep projects moving forward. Clients rely on Bouma for excellence, and Nate is committed to stewarding the company’s legacy of quality and trust.

What he finds most rewarding is stepping back to see how all the pieces come together—turning vision into reality. For Nate, the greatest fulfillment comes from helping shape landmark buildings across the city and knowing he plays a part in carrying forward work that truly matters.
