Sam grew up in the trades helping his father who owned a maintenance company which focused on Electrical, Plumbing and HVAC, but after working a summer for a framing contractor he developed a love for carpentry that eventually turned into what is now known as Rode Homes Inc.
On May 30th 1991 Rode Construction was born and would eventually evolve into Rode Homes Inc., and in a career spanning almost 3 decades, Sam has gathered hands on experience that ranges from carpentry and the mechanical trades, to interior finishes, cabinetry and everything in between.
Sam lives in the Livonia area with his wife and 3 children. In his spare time he coaches youth lacrosse, builds sets for high school theatre productions and enjoys both alpine and water skiing.
