Our Team

Mark Lewis, CR, CKBR —Mark is president and founder of ProCraft. Mark got his start in the industry through the real estate field and property investing. Fixing up old houses for rent or sale gave him a well rounded background in the industry. Mark always had a strong appreciation for the business side of contracting and that has been his driving interest. Mark is a licensed electrician, a licensed real estate broker, and is a published cartoonist. He also holds Certified Remodeler and Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler designations from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. Mark is lucky to be able to work with his wife Mary everyday. He enjoys travel, movies, and reading and drawing cartoons. |

Nick Rawski— Nick is ProCraft's Production Manager and is responsible for coordinating all of the production functions. Nick has years of experience in the trades and has owned his own contracting company in the past. Whether it is assisting a client with a question or working closely with a trade partner, Nick's goal is to make certain the remodeling experience is as painless as possible. Clients find Nick's office a shrine to the Chicago Bears and Cubs (which creates some issues with the White Sox fans on the team). Nick loves to spend his free time with his wife and son, hopefully while fishing at the same time. |

Shawn is a former rock star drummer who has traded in his drum sticks to spend as much time with his wife and kids as possible. |
