As a current member of the Board of Directors of the Franklin County Home Builders Association (HBA) and former President of the HBA of Raleigh-Wake County, Dan is a Wake County native and a graduate of Campbell University, where he obtained a Business Administration degree. According to Dan, he realized early in his career that his success is directly related to how well he communicates and works towards the needs and desires of his customers. With this belief in mind, Dan assembled an excellent team committed to building homes his customers expect and deserve.

“I learned years ago that satisfied customers sell more homes than any type of advertising,” says Dan. “A satisfied customer not only recommends me to their friends, but they may also come back to me to build their next home. This is the best compliment I can receive, and I’m honored to have received this opportunity quite a few times over the years.”

Throughout the custom home building process, Dan and his team assist clients in design decision-making and specific product selections. Dan determines what aspects of a home are most important to each client and guides the building process accordingly.
