Wheelbuilders in the DC area?

I'm looking for someone to build a wheel for me in the greater DC area. I already have the hub and the hoop and I'm sourcing the spokes but I lack sufficient talent or tools to build the wheel up. It's nothing too crazy, a pretty basic XT 9 speed disc hub to a Rhyno Lite rim, 36 spoke 3 cross. It seems like most shops don't want to build wheels if the customer didn't buy the wheel parts from them. I'm looking for someone who can build the parts into a good strong wheel. I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee to have the wheel built.

Does anyone here build wheels or know someone who does that they can recommend in the greater DC area?

Also, can anyone comment on what is a fair cost for a wheel build if I supply the parts?
