construction with a difference

Cory Kroger is the founder of Stone Artisans and brings more than 25 years of experience in design, construction, and fabrication. Born and raised near Greensburg, Cory grew up watching his father run his own business while his mother dedicated herself to raising Cory and his sister and caring for their family. Their example of hard work, integrity, and commitment to others helped shape the foundation of Cory’s career and leadership style.

Cory studied at Purdue University and later pursued Architectural Design at Ivy Tech Community College. Through his education and hands-on experience, he developed a unique skill set that blends craftsmanship, construction knowledge, and design expertise.

In 2009, Cory founded Stone Artisans with a vision of creating a stone fabrication company centered on quality workmanship and strong client relationships. Today, Cory works closely with clients across Indiana, guiding projects from concept through completion while leading and training a dedicated team of more than ten employees. His hands-on approach and commitment to excellence have helped Stone Artisans earn a reputation for quality and reliability throughout the region.

Outside of work, Cory enjoys spending time outdoors hunting, fly fishing, camping, and surfing. He lives near Zionsville and is a proud father of two wonderful children. Cory is also engaged to his best friend, Amy, and enjoys being part of her two sons’ lives as well

Colton studied at Indiana University Bloomington, where he developed his entrepreneurial mindset by operating his own College Pro Painters franchise during his college years. That early business experience helped shape his leadership and customer service philosophy.

Prior to joining Stone Artisans, Colton built extensive management experience with California Closets, where he successfully led two different divisions. His background in organization, sales, and client relationships makes him a key part of the day-to-day leadership at Stone Artisans.

Outside of work, Colton enjoys great food, sports, and most importantly spending time with his family. He and his wife Allie are the proud parents of five boys, and much of Colton’s free time is happily spent supporting and enjoying life with his active family
