Board Member

With more than two decades in the trades, Stoane is the driving force behind Wood and Stoane and WS Healthcare Construction. His mission has always been to empower others—whether by mentoring tradespeople, sharing his expertise through his book, or helping medical professionals and homeowners navigate their projects with confidence. He believes skilled craftsmanship should uplift communities and the people who live in them.

His connection to Whidbey began five years ago during a construction project that left a lasting impression. He and his wife quickly felt the island’s sense of belonging and knew it was where they wanted to put down roots. Now full-time residents of Freeland, they’re deeply committed to investing in the community.

Stoane brings his passion for housing, building, and empowerment to support the Home on Whidbey's mission of creating stable, accessible homes for all who call Whidbey Island home.
