Lucas Jenson left a career in corporate marketing to start The TreeHouse Hardwoods & Millshop in Williston, Vermont, in 2014. His passion for woodworking inspired the new venture, which now serves as a destination for woodworkers looking for a full range of quality lumber or custom milling services. In 2021, Lucas expanded the company by launching The Vermont Butcherblock Company, which markets Vermont Maple Butcherblock counters.

Before opening TreeHouse, Lucas owned a small construction company that concentrated on built-in cabinetry and decks. He earned a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing at Northeastern University. His marketing career included roles at Marketing and Planning Systems, a strategic marketing consulting firm working for many major brands; Ben & Jerry’s where he managed consumer testing for new products, strategic marketing initiatives, website, and customer service; and 7th Generation.

Lucas serves as president of The Vermont Woodworks Council, and as a board member of ReBuilding Together (greater Burlington Chapter), a non-profit providing home improvement services for people in need. He lives in Williston, Vermont, and enjoys off-road adventure motorcycling as a part-time tour guide for Moto Vermont, boating, rowing and has honed his puzzling skills during Covid!
