Weston Berchtold
head builder
Weston founded Hancock.Build in July of 2023 out of a desire to combine his decade+ of experience in small business, technology, and design. He saw the very real need for higher quality websites and technology in small business and local government.
Through h.b, Weston helps brands create real value for their customers, clients, and citizens by making advanced design and technology—once reserved for large corporations—accessible to small companies and communities.
Weston also currently serves as the COO and owner of Eli’s Coffee Shop with his wife Rachel. After purchasing the business in 2015, they have lead Eli’s through significant growth and success in small central Illinois communities.
Ruby
lead troublemaker
The definition of failing upwards, Ruby began her career as a kitten in Rachel and Weston’s home. Since then, she has somehow become an indispensable asset to Rachel and Weston’s work, despite possessing no discernable skills or abilities.
Ruby assists Weston at hancock.build with all of our rest and relaxation responsibilities and is frequently found sleeping through meetings and other important engagements.
