MEET THE TEAM

Our staff of sales associates, craftsmen, and design staff work together to bring beautiful wood cabinets into our customers’ homes. Meet some of our team.

David Vetsch

Founder and President

After working as a carpenter for seven years, David discovered his affinity for building and perfecting the details of quality cabinets. He saw an opportunity to launch his own custom cabinet company, and founded Vetsch Custom Cabinets in 1980. David has managed the company for over 35 years, working closely with contractors, clients, and designers to create quality cabinet styles.

David also enjoys travelling with his wife in their RV, golfing, and spending time with his five adult daughters and seven grandchildren.

Mike Woytcke

Project Manager and Shop Foreman

Mike has been in the custom cabinet business for over 30 years, and has been with Vetsch for over 17 years. He brings expertise in cabinet assembly, installation, CNC programming and Cabnetware software design. As a project manager and shop foreman, Mike oversees all jobs and works directly with each sales person. Among many other responsibilities, he makes sure all jobs can be built according to our specifications before entering them into the CNC center and sending to the shop for assembly. Mike oversees the shop crew. He also manages cabinet flow and scheduling for finishing, installation, pick up and deliveries.

Mike lives in St. Michael with his wife Pam, their five children, and their dog.

Sam Syrstad

He says, “To see the excitement and satisfaction from each customer at the completion of each project is what motivates me.” His primary goal is always to provide the best customer service possible.
