This local building dynamo brings a wealth of experience and passion for construction to the role, much to the excitement of the residents in Greenwood, S.C.
A Lifelong Builder
Chad is no stranger to the world of construction. He is the proud president of Charles & Associates, a building company that has earned its stripes in the industry. Growing up in Greenwood, Chad comes from a long line of builders—being a fourth-generation craftsman—and has been in love with construction ever since he joined his grandfather and father on the job site. His journey began with a small remodeling company that he founded in 1998, and since then, he has poured his heart and soul into the craft.
Community and Family First
Family plays a central role in Chad’s life. He and his wife are proud parents to three children—two sons and a daughter—and also cherish their time as grandparents to three adorable grandkids. This strong family bond drives his commitment to creating a better community through quality housing, which he believes is vital for families to thrive.
Overcoming Challenges
Chad’s journey hasn’t always been smooth sailing. In 2010, he faced a tremendous battle against cancer that changed his perspective on life. Following his recovery, he dedicated himself to community service, aiming to give back to the place he calls home. His leadership roles with Habitat for Humanity of Greenwood not only showcase his commitment but also his ability to inspire others to join in on making a difference in their local community.
Recognition and Accomplishments
Chad’s tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed. He has received the esteemed Champion of Housing Award from both the Horry Georgetown Homebuilders Association and the Homebuilders Association of South Carolina, which speaks volumes about his impact in the industry. His focus on embracing the latest construction trends, technologies, and energy-efficient practices reflects his dedication to exceeding client expectations and ensuring sustainability in building.
Looking Ahead
As Chad embarks on his journey with the Lakelands HBA, he expresses a humble gratitude for the honor of serving in this influential role. His vision is clear: he aims to be a robust advocate for builders in the community, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to succeed. With his considerable experience and community ties, he is poised to bring the Lakeland Homebuilders Association to new heights and strengthen the construction industry for years to come.
A Bright Future for Lakelands
Chad’s commitment to family, faith, and community service undoubtedly makes him a fantastic fit for the leadership of the Lakelands Homebuilders Association. Residents of Greenwood can look forward to an engaged president, who is ready to roll up his sleeves and work diligently for the betterment of their community and the construction industry as a whole. As changes unfold, the future indeed looks bright for Lakelands under his guidance.
