Meet the Cornerstone Team
Allen Tankersley
Cornerstone’s president, Allen, is a licensed contractor, NARI Certified Remodeler, Certified Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeler, Cornerstone’s lead designer, and a licensed electrician.
“The drive to build and remodel homes began as a child, where I grew up around the remodeling industry. I became an apprentice at a young age and specialized in kitchen and bathroom remodeling and complete home renovations. This developed into a passion that followed me into my adult years. Soon after completing college, I decided to expand my expertise and began a five-year apprenticeship with Local 48 IBEW.
After becoming a licensed journeyman electrician, I redirected myself back toward building and remodeling homes. It was in May of 2003 that I founded Cornerstone Builders. Being a builder is more than a profession; it is a calling. There are a lot of behind the scene hours that go into a job from start to finish. The construction period often requires some adaptation from our clients during the transformation process. We have a direct effect on people’s lives and their homes. There is a lot of pride and joy that comes from seeing the end results and the excitement from our clients!”
Allen has served on the NARI Pacific Northwest Board of Directors since 2011 and has been board secretary for a total of 10 years. He has also served on the Board of Directors and Project Committee for ReFIT for five years. ReFIT provides no-cost home modifications for physically challenged people. Cornerstone has also donated labor and materials, completed a wheelchair ramp, and supported many other projects for ReFIT clients.
One of the most important things to Allen is spending quality time with his wife and their three active children. He is a gym devotee and dedicates time to maintaining his health. Being from Oregon, he loves spending time in the mountains and is drawn to outdoor activities.
Bre Reynolds
Cornerstone’s project manager, Bre, adds an extra level of professionalism, organization, and support to the team. Working side by side with Allen, she stays busy both in the office and on job sites.
As a native of the Pacific Northwest, Bre loves the outdoors. Camping, hiking, and kayaking are just a few of the adventures she loves sharing with her husband and her two energetic children. She is also an avid reader and fitness enthusiast.
Kirsten Tankersley
Kirsten has been working behind the scenes since 2004. She assists with administrative responsibilities and keeps the company’s financial side organized.
She is a native Oregonian and earned a B.S. from Portland State University in 2002. Years later, she continued her studies in Amma Therapy, where she gained a passion for Chinese medicine. Kirsten is married and has three children who keep her on the go. She enjoys going to the gym, reading, working in the yard, traveling, and spending time outdoors.
