Ok, this is actually a funny story. The name “Amber Valley” actually came from a dictionary search in a college dorm room in the early 2000s. Derek, while earning his degree in Residential Construction Management, was assigned an assignment to put together a mock company. Derek didn’t want to call it “Anderson’s Construction” or anything along those lines simply because he was looking to build a company that was bigger than himself that would serve customers even if he wasn’t around any more. Back then, people still used these things called “Phone Books” and companies were listed alphabetically. So, the name literally came from searching through the “A” words until Derek found something he liked. After he landed on Amber, “Valley” seemed like it would work well with “Amber” and whammo: Amber Valley was born. But what is in a name?

About this time, Derek obtained his Residential Builder’s license and started the LLC that is now Amber Valley Construction. Shortly thereafter, he started working as a project coordinator for a small building and remodeling company. Things were going well until, in January of 2015, that company suddenly shuttered the building and remodeling portion of its company. With only three day’s notice that he was being laid off at the start of winter, Derek used the cash reserves he had acquired through some side hustle to go full time with Amber Valley. Derek hired two of the men who had worked along side of him under the previous company (both of whom had also been laid off), and made a go with it.
