ABOUT HOME IMPROVEMENT TEAM

General Manager

Ken brings over a dozen years of construction project management experience with local homebuilders ranging from basic tract building to high end custom homes. His last venture before starting H.I.T. was managing the production department with a large local homebuilder. He chose to step away from the day-to-day management of new home construction and take his experience to deliver an overall positive experience for our customers versus a focus on volume and bottom-line numbers. Ken has a Business Management degree from Longwood University and enjoys spending his free time with family but can also be found on the golf course every now and then. Ken manages the day-to-day operation of all active projects and communicates directly with our customers to set expectations and follow through with execution of the scope of work.

Pawject Manager

Meet Hank — a shaggy, shepherd-mutt mix with a heart as big as the homes we remodel. As the unofficial (but very much essential) Chief Morale Officer of Home Improvement Team, Hank takes his job very seriously. He’s Seth’s loyal sidekick, a certified service dog, and the only team member who can nap on the job and still be called a productivity booster.

From supervising site visits with his soulful eyes to offering emotional support in the form of surprise snuggles and tail wags, Hank brings calm to the chaos of construction. He’s known to greet vendors like old friends, charm clients with his gentle presence, and keep the team grounded — usually by lying directly on their feet.

Whether he's riding shotgun in the truck or making executive decisions from his favorite sunny patch of floor, Hank reminds us daily that home is more than drywall and design — it's about love, loyalty, and a little fur in the air.
