Our Team
Justen Vickery, the company’s owner, is a veteran of the US Marine Corps and the US Air Force, and his dedication to discipline and precision is evident in every project undertaken by the company. Justen's love for the outdoors and adventure, particularly his passion for hiking through the beautiful and rugged Sonoran Desert, serves as an inspiration for his commitment to creating durable, visually stunning and eco-friendly structures that stand the test of time. Psalm 9:9 serves as a guiding principle for Justen and his team, "The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." This verse exemplifies the company's commitment to not only building beautiful structures but also standing up for what is right and helping those in need.
Justen's 20 years of experience in the construction industry, working for some of the largest residential construction companies, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the excellent team at Stronghold Enterprises.

He uses the challenges that come with each project to fuel his desire to create structures that are not only beautiful but also built to last. His deep industry experience and attention to detail ensures that each project is completed to the highest standards.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Justen is also dedicated to his family and community. He is a loving husband and father of three children and two beautiful puppies.
