Jeff Böehm
President
Now in my fifties, I started building things in my teenage years. Go-karts, forts, you name it. Then as an adult, I found myself building anything and everything including the home my children were raised in. Once it became my career, I gradually reached a point when I had done it all. Foundations, framing, siding, roofing, flooring, finishing, tile work, and even a little plumbing and electrical. I can confidently say I have put in my ten thousand hours many times over! I feel that this vast experience gives me the confidence and the right to give sound advice to our clients, and then back it up with action. My previous career as a Domino’s Pizza franchisee is also great too, it’s what helps give me the “customer is always right” approach which is quite rare in our industry.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing hockey, slalom skiing, golf and all that Vancouver Island has to offer. My wife Jenna is my support system, and my three kids Kellen, Caitlyn and Jackson are the best. Recently I spent three years restoring a Triumph Spitfire in my spare time, and I am quite proud of this accomplishment. I am also quite proud of creating this pirate ship we call Boehm Construction. My future plans are to continue running it until retirement, and, at some point, pass the torch to a group of successors. This community will continue to need more sensible and affordable housing, and we intend to continue providing it.

Michelle Hudon
I have been with Boehm since 2019. I have over 30 years of management in operations, logistics and finance, primarily in the transportation industry, both as an owner and employee. And on the side I have been a Hatha yoga instructor for over 20 years, both as an owner of a studio and a contract teacher.
As a teenager, my family bought property that we logged with a portable mill, and built a handcrafted 3500 sq foot log home - as a family!
As an adult, I have owned several homes, (including 2 more log homes!) and have undertaken the hands-on of all manner of renovations and additions - all done with passion and vision and a tremendous amount of pride.
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend - builder, manager, teacher, creator - this has been my journey!

Nivedan Kaushal
Project Coordinator
Niv is eager to share his enthusiasm for project management in the residential construction industry. His passion for the discipline comes from a project he led in 2016-2017 to improve the flow of information between staff and students in SD68.
