A member of the Ravenhill team for nearly twenty five years, Credence is experienced in every aspect of home building and remodeling, as well as project management. Raised on a farm in Eastern Washington, he learned carpentry as a teenager, helping his family build their home on raw acreage along the Columbia River. He went on to study Computer Science, with a focus on mathematics, at Washington State University before relocating to San Juan Island in 2002.
Outside of work, Credence is always making something. His recent projects include a home addition with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an art studio, a geodesic dome greenhouse and a wood-fired barrel sauna, and he also crafts his own knives. He grew up in a musical family (as you may have guessed from his name) and is an avid musician and chess player. He also stays active practicing martial arts and yoga, by hiking, splitting firewood and weightlifting.
Above all, he enjoys traveling and spending time at home with his wife, Andrea, and their two school-aged daughters.

Island born and second generation Ravenhill Carpenter, Orion’s father Eric Powell had nearly 40 years with the company. An avid sailor with an interest in restoring classic wooden boats, Orion studied at the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding in Port Townsend, Washington. On the edge of town Orion built his family home and is the father to three young & active boys. He is usually found working on projects that spread joy -whether it is building pet homes and other crazy creations with his kids or a deck for a friend. Once in a while he takes a break and enjoys slowing down at his family cabin off Roche Harbor on Johns Island. With so much history with Ravenhill he is truly proud and feels privileged to be apart of this custom home building team.

Ravenhill's founder Peter Kilpatrick always knew he wanted to build. Growing up he was famous for his use of challenging materials in an endless series of forts, a steel framed dome and later his recycled wood cabin. A growing family and the need to express his developing architectural vision found Pete building his 'big' house when a fire destroyed his cabin.
A few years later, Ravenhill Construction was founded. Pete and his wife Becky have made significant contributions to the island community. Pete is a member of the Board for The Community Home Trust and The San Juan Initiative, which looks for solutions to clean up Puget Sound.
Pete is continuing on alongside the new owners of Ravenhill on an as-needed basis in an advisory consultant role. Look for Pete at Brickworks where he is leading the build out of our community's historic venue in the heart of Friday Harbor.
