Spencer Wolfe

Spencer Wolfe

Owner / Principal

Spencer was born and raised in Vancouver, WA. He started in construction in 1985 with DeaMor Skylights, Inc. and worked in landscaping before co-founding a framing company in Boulder, Colorado.  In 1998, Spencer began working at The East Bay Conservation Corps in Oakland, CA. It was there he combined his love of nature, building, and working with people. These experiences inspired him to found Wolfe, Inc. in 2003.

Spencer’s passion for the environment and collaborative projects fuels his work in landscaping and construction. He enjoys building and creating residential landscape spaces for clients, and is continually inspired by the construction and design challenges of these projects. He also enjoys the satisfaction in coordinating the many aspects of a project that make it run smoothly.

Spencer loves backpacking, sailing, climbing, traveling and reading. He also has a lifelong passion for plants and geology and finding the creative element in whatever project he undertakes.

Anthony Mattison

Anthony Mattison

Project Manager

Anthony has been working with Wolfe, Inc as a Project Manager for over two years. However, my relationship with Spencer goes back much further than that. I was a subcontractor for him on one of his first projects, more than 20 years ago. At that time, and for many years afterwards, I ran my own business as a Landscape Contractor, specializing in installing residential irrigation systems. The shift to general contracting has been a sharp, but enjoyable, learning curve.
