With a deep understanding of the building process and a calm, steady approach, Joey plays a key role in guiding custom homes from the ground up.

Built for the Challenge

What Joey enjoys most about his role is the constantly changing nature of custom home construction. No two projects are ever the same, and that variety is exactly what keeps him energized. He finds the greatest satisfaction in the final walkthrough, when homeowners step inside their finished home and see their vision fully realized.

Joey’s work ethic is rooted in consistency and accountability. His background in construction—and an accounting degree from the University of Kentucky—gives him a unique perspective that balances craftsmanship with organization and precision.

Memorable Moments

Ask Joey about the time he fishtailed a dump trailer on I-540 and flipped it, scattering mortar sand everywhere. It’s one of many stories that reflect his real-world experience and sense of humor.

Personal Aspirations and Challenges

At the top of Joey’s bucket list is building his own custom barndominium on a piece of land to call his own.

If Joey could add one feature to his home, it would be a sweet tea button—no hesitation. It’s these small, authentic touches that make Joey exactly the kind of builder people enjoy working with.
