President – Hendren Custom Homes
HBANWI Board of Directors

🔨 Why HBANWI?
“My inspiration has come from the value I have found in collaboration within the building industry. Over the years I have benefited from building relationships with so many talented individuals who share a passion for construction, business ownership and love for their community.”

📋 What he values most:
“The thing I value most is the opportunity to walk alongside others with a shared vision that allows for ideas to be shared, relationships to be built, and the gift of navigating challenges together.”

🚀 Impact on our industry & community:
“The association has so many opportunities for impact both from those that are making a living within the industry and for all of those who rely on us to build their communities. Things that come to mind are around education, opportunities to connect people and legislation and policy matters.”

🌟 Looking ahead:
“It has been exciting to see the association revitalized, becoming relevant again and a resource to Lake and Porter County residents. I'm encouraged by others' involvement and passion for the work we do and their willingness to give time and energy to something bigger than themselves.”

🏡 Fun fact:
Mike has lived and worked in 13 states from coast to coast, bringing a broad perspective and wealth of experience to the building industry.

Thank you, Mike, for your leadership and commitment to HBANWI! 🙌

"A severe storm brought rain, lightning, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes that touched down, resulting in widespread power outages across portions of our service territory," NIPSCO said.
