Larry, Does Colin Laing sound familiar? He's based in Tempe, Arizona. Another expatriate British builder who could fit that profile is/was Dave Moulton. Dave has made one of the more interesting career transitions, as he's now a working country and western songwriter! He sold his business to a former apprentice, Russ Denny.
