What made you decide to be a builder?

I decided to become a builder because I am a very hands-on person. Ever since I can remember I was always building something. I used to always build with Legos then moved up to building forts for my GI Joes out of any material available. When I learned to swing a hammer I moved up to tree houses. I then built a vesper dale for my church as my Eagle Scout project. As I got older I built porches, decks, and even did some remodeling for my parents, brothers, and grandparents. After I received a Drafting and Design degree from Appalachian State I decided that I would enter into the construction industry. I worked for a major construction company for almost two years then one day, after being just a number in a huge company, decided to start my own business. To this day I am pleased of my career choice and what I can contribute to the building industry.

How long have you been building?

I have been building ever since I was very young. However, this will be my third year building residential homes, and five years total in the building industry.

What is your favorite part of building homes?

I would have to say my favorite part of building homes is that there is never a dull moment. There are always new tasks and problem solving situations that builders face, and I enjoy the challenges.

What would people like to know about your company?

The plan is to keep it small. I like the fact of only building a small number of homes each year so that I can keep a close eye on every project that I undertake.

Where do you see the growth of the building industry in Brunswick County going?

I see the building industry growing for the next couple of years. Although I don’t think it will continue to grow at the same rate that it is now I do think you will always see people wanting to come to the beach or near it to build their dream homes.
