01 — The Company

A Founding Note

Bend, Oregon · Est. 2021

Momentasize was founded in 2021 with a simple but powerful intention: to build momentum that creates lasting impact.

More than just a name, Momentasize represents a mindset, one rooted in growth, resilience, and showing up fully for the work, the people, and the communities we serve.

Led by Dirk and his wife, Shai, Momentasize Construction was built on the belief that progress is created through intention and shared effort. We believe in igniting potential in others, creating environments where people can grow, and approaching every project with care for what it adds beyond the build itself.

At its core, Momentasize is about creating with purpose, using our skills, experience, and resources to contribute positively to the communities we are a part of.
