The Lincoln Construction Way

+ Erik LINCOLN | Founder / Chief Operating Officer

Erik grew up on the Sunshine Coast and fell in love with building homes at a very young age. In most of his childhood photos, he can be seen holding some form of tool. At 21 years old, Erik was certified as a Red Seal Journeyman Carpenter, subcontracting for the larger construction companies on the Sunshine Coast to build his experience and knowledge base. After 17 years in the industry completing hands-on work, Erik stepped out of his carpentry role to incorporate his own company and establish the Lincoln name along the Sunshine Coast.

His avid determination and strong work ethic have allowed him to bring his vision to life in crafting a company with a focus on superior quality, strong communication, and innovative building technology, creating lasting trade partner relationships along the way. Erik is a testament to the successful company he has built, continuing to push the boundaries in the industry.

When he’s not working, Erik enjoys spending time with his wife, Terri, and two young children, Kaden and Sophie. He’s also developed several outdoor passions with local ventures including downhill mountain biking, snowboarding, scuba diving and seadooing.

+ Terri Lincoln | Chief Operating Officer

Terri grew up on the Sunshine Coast, moving to Burnaby to complete her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree with Honours. She pursued specialized nursing in critical, emergency care, as well as forensics, before shifting gears and navigating in the realm of general contracting with her partner and founder of Lincoln Construction, Erik. Terri has excelled in her position in company operations and is leading the way to streamline our current processes and overseeing the day-to-day company process. She is often the one on the other end of emails, communicating regularly with many of our clients and suppliers.

Terri can often be found juggling her workload with her two young children, Kaden and Sophie in tow, and loves to be at the beach, taking walks in the forest or coasting through the local waters to find remote hang outs for some well deserved family time.

+ KALE ANGUS | Project Manager

Kale has worked in high-end renovation and restoration projects for over two decades. After retiring his tool belt, he helped manage the client end of his family-owned business, aiding his brother to grow from a one-crew company to six crews with multiple ongoing projects. Now into his second year with Lincoln, Kale has been instrumental in helping us build beautiful custom homes and renovations, with a focus on pre-construction work, permitting and managing projects. His easy-going nature and strong communication skills make him a huge asset to our team.

Frequenting the Coast since his grandparents moved to Halfmoon Bay in 1991, Kale loved it so much that he moved his own wife (Jutta) and 2 of 3 children (Ellinor and Aston) out here from Finland five years ago, while his third child Olivia remains in Finland.

+ Jesse Clark | Lead Foreman

Jesse has been in the building industry for over 20 years and has a passion for finishing carpentry. He has his Red Seal certification as a Journeyman Carpenter and uses his skill set and knowledge base to excel as a site lead. Jesse is a key member of the Lincoln team and takes pride in the high-quality work he produces.

Born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, Jesse and his partner are continuing to soak up coastal life with their newborn daughter. When he puts his tools away for the day, Jesse is known to enjoy mountain biking, disc golf and is also well known locally as a DJ and sound producer.

Jocelyn dedicated 12 years to program research that supported health care initiatives across the province. She brings an incredible knowledge base and high level of experience that earns her the title of Resident Problem Solver here at Lincoln.

If you don’t see her in the office, you’ll find Jocelyn spending time at the beach with her granddaughters or crafting her latest jewelry or painting project.

+ Cameron Duncan | Lead Foreman

Cameron was born and raised on the Sunshine Coast and has lived from one end to the other, which makes him an expert when it comes to this beautiful area. Spending much of his youth fixing vehicles, Cameron gained a strong work ethic through helping his dad work on the Inlet Raider. Erik and Cameron worked together prior to the incorporation of Lincoln Construction, where Cameron was given the opportunity to build a strong skill set in the construction industry. He’s now a valuable asset to our team.

Alongside his partner Carley, Cameron lives in Pender Harbour and enjoys spending time off exploring the trails with their dog, recharging at the lake, and visiting with family.

+ BLAIR KEELING | Project Manager

Blair started out at Lincoln Construction swinging a hammer as one of the site crew and now enjoys the diverse role of Project Manager. Blair is a gas fitter by trade, though he grew up building and renovating homes from an early age. He has a keen interest in high-performance, low-energy, durable construction and enjoys educating himself about different methods of applying the latest high-performance products. His strong communication, attention to detail, and high-quality standards make him an absolute asset at Lincoln.

Originally from Nova Scotia, he moved to the West Coast with his wife eight years ago and they welcomed a baby girl in early 2022. He’s now eagerly awaiting the day she can pick up a hammer.

+ KELSEY MACLEAN | Office Administrator

Kelsey grew up in North Vancouver and obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Art History from the University of British Columbia. Kelsey built up 10 years of experience managing an independent book store and art gallery, gaining skills in task prioritization, organization, and customer care. She and her partner Michael decided it was time for a change, and it was just our luck that she made the move to the Sunshine Coast. They share a beautiful son Connor and family dog Eleanor.

We are so fortunate that Kelsey chose to join our administrative team, where she's able to put her experience and knowledge base to great use.

She has exceptional attention to detail, and with a background and passion for site safety, she is an asset to the Lincoln team.

After many years, Laura reunited with her love Kris, and together they reside in the Sechelt area, in close proximity to two of three of their grown children. Better known as Lau or Lolo to friends and family, she is heavily involved in community sports including soccer, softball and ice hockey.
