From humble beginnings as an 11-year-old construction worker, Chris Pohl has built a thriving custom home business that exemplifies the American dream, creating something meaningful through hard work and integrity. Alongside business partner Brooke Muttsbauer, Chris has helped shape Divergent Homes into a standout player in Colorado’s competitive construction scene by focusing on what matters most: delivering exceptional client experiences. What sets Divergent Homes apart is their mission to shift the negative stereotype of the construction industry. Their reputation speaks volumes, with 90% of their business coming from referrals, a powerful endorsement of their craftsmanship and character.
Starting with property management and small remodels, the Divergent Homes team has steadily evolved to lead high-end luxury projects in prestigious Denver neighborhoods like Cherry Creek and Wash Park. Their philosophy remains consistent: adhere to every code, honor every commitment, and turn the construction process into a positive, even enjoyable experience. In conversation, Chris shares how emerging technologies like 360-degree lidar scanning are streamlining operations, saving “weeks per year” in planning. Even more compelling is their bold vision: to scale toward an eight- to nine-figure exit within two years without compromising the relationships and integrity that fueled their growth. Whether you're passionate about real estate, entrepreneurship, or witnessing a success story in motion, Chris and Brooke's journey is a masterclass in doing things the right way.
