Carly has been a designer with The Cabinet Store + Culina Design for 13 years. What she loves most about her job is meeting with new people, getting to know them, and being able to help them make their dream kitchen a reality.

At home, Carly's family includes her husband, a teenage son, and a tween daughter. Much of her free time goes to youth sports, and when a little extra time opens up she loves getting out on her paddle board, painting with water colors, or doing her nails.

Co-Owner

Luke Prettyman

Hi, I'm Luke Prettyman, co-owner of The Cabinet Store & Culina Design. My brother, Scot, and I started The Cabinet Store in 2000. Growing up in the family lumber and millwork business, I cut my teeth working in the shop making windows, doors, and of course cabinets; that was over 50 years ago.

Today, I still enjoy going to work because it's fun! Our staff is truly family and we share a deep connection for each other, our company and clients. The creativity, seeing projects unfold, and the response from our clients is what I love best about our team and company. Besides work, I love the outdoors, hiking, hunting, fishing, golfing, and being up North on the water. I'm active in our church, love serving and connecting with others. Being a dad to an amazing young man, owning a great business and helping people makes my world go round.

Co-Founder & Co-Owner

Scot Prettyman

My name is Scot Prettyman, co-founder and co-owner of The Cabinet Store + Culina Design in Apple Valley, MN. I have been in the industry for over 50 years, starting as a teenager, helping my father who owned a lumber yard, making and selling cabinets. I wear many hats as an owner but especially love meeting new clients and helping to make their dreams come true, whether it be their kitchen, bath, or any room of the home. In our 26 years, we have done thousands of projects in the Twin Cities area. Taking pride in our work and following through to the end of the project is our strength.

Tom has been at The Cabinet Store since 2003. He started out as a sub and in 2008 transitioned to full time. What he likes most about the job is seeing what the team has accomplished at the end of the day and how different the new kitchen looks.

Outdoors is where Tom is happiest, whether it is hunting, fishing, or spending time at the cabin with the family. He also enjoys a bike ride and pickle ball.
