NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke Named Florida Builder of the Year
NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke received the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) Builder of the Year Award on Oct. 29, during the association’s Fall Leadership Conference in Sarasota, Fla.
The FHBA Builder of the Year Award recognizes “a leader in the industry who continuously exhibits best practices, phenomenal leadership qualities, and expertise in the field.”
“For 40 years Chuck Fowke has crafted a legacy of building luxury homes in the Tampa Bay area and has spent more than half of that time giving selflessly to serve our association,” said FHBA CEO Rusty Payton. “Florida’s building industry has been fortunate to have his leadership and guidance advocating on their behalf from the halls in Tallahassee to [Capitol] Hill in Washington. He is absolutely deserving of this distinction and honor.”
Fowke, a Tampa-based custom home builder, is founder and president of Homes by John C. Fowke Inc. He was inducted into the Florida Housing Hall of Fame in 2019.
