As I’ve continued to meet new team members, that feeling is more emboldened than ever. Second to that is the desire and passion to do something truly transformative to residential homebuilding, simplifying our own processes and those that touch our customers through the use of technology and innovation: Lighting the way! Outside of Work: – I love spending time with my wife Jennifer and two daughters Isabella and Bianca and, of course, our dog Mayla. Next to that, I enjoy spending time outdoors – hiking, kayaking, fishing, exercising, golfing, community events and being involved in homebuilding activities. We love spending time in the south and generally anywhere with water! My family and I are grateful for the sacrifices our US Military and Law Enforcement make every day and for the “protectors of freedom” they are and so we enjoy giving back to those organizations when those opportunities arise. Fun Fact (Optional): – I’m super proud of my home state – West Virginia!
