Cody began his career in construction as a carpenter’s helper when he moved to Florida in 2015. Although he holds a degree in finance, Cody enjoyed construction from a young age while watching his father redo apartments and build items around their home. Since then, he continued to pursue his passion and accelerate his career by passing the residential contractors exams, managing projects on site, and, now, overseeing job sites throughout the Greater Tampa Bay Area.
Originally from Tennessee, Cody enjoys spending his free time on new construction projects, watching football, and playing golf.

Steve has over twenty years of construction experience and started his career in Chicago where he worked with his father and ran their own carpentry business. He traveled the country installing and maintaining English Conservatories on high-end homes and some businesses and relocated to the Tampa Bay Area in 2014 where he spent over eight years working for a construction company specializing in custom remodeling and design. His main focus was finish carpentry, but he was also responsible for many other aspects of projects (tile work, drywall, cabinets, concrete, basic plumbing, electric, and managing projects).
When Steve is not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife and dog at their St. Petersburg home. They enjoy biking, kayaking, and all the other wonderful things the area offers.
