Carl Dean and Mathew Smith are two of the most passionate and driven individuals you’ll ever meet. Best friends since college, they began crafting custom wood furniture in their garage in 2010. In 2014, Carl left his hometown in Michigan to pursue a career in construction and real estate in Texas, while Mathew stayed behind to build one of the nation’s leading auto insurance agencies. Both excelled in their fields, driven by the belief that they could achieve greatness in whatever they were passionate about.
Launching Dean & Co has always been a dream for Carl. After over 15 years in construction, and an additional four years with Atwood Custom Homes, a premier builder in Southlake, and with the thrilling news of his wife expecting twins, he felt it was the perfect time to channel his experience and entrepreneurial spirit into creating Dean & Co. As word spread about their exceptional quality and craftsmanship, demand for their custom homes skyrocketed. It wasn’t long before Carl reached out to Mathew, inviting him to join this venture and build dream homes side by side once again.
