CEO, Campbell Communities

I came to the campaign with passion and enthusiasm for NAHB and our industry, knowing how important it is to our buyers and residents, our communities, and our country. And as I traveled from coast to coast these past months visiting state HBAs and speaking to members, my passion and excitement for what lies ahead for the association has only grown. The kindness and hospitality you’ve shown to both my wife and me are so greatly appreciated!

And I’ve learned so much!

I learned that there is a real desire to work together to further our industry. My campaign slogan is “Better Together, Housing for All.” Large states, small states — all want to find ways to be better together. We can collaborate in so many ways so that the whole is greater than the parts. 

I also learned that our members are engaged and passionate, and ready to try to move the association forward. We have a lot of history at NAHB, and so many members, including myself, are familiar with that history and have the utmost respect for it. Building on that history, it is now our turn to see what we can do to move the association forward.

What I learned most importantly is that our members want to make a difference, not only to their buyers and clients, but also to our industry and to our communities. I heard a remodeler in Washington state talk about how they helped a client who suffered a severe health crisis live a better life through their work. I saw the extra efforts all over the country to bring young people into our industry and truly transform their lives. And I see how we fight the incredibly important fight to make it possible to build housing for all, whether with starter homes, move-up homes, vacation homes, or senior living.  When we talk to those who regulate us and govern us, I always feel that I must remind them that we want to build, and if it’s not happening, it’s not through lack of desire.

I look forward to working with you all for a better association!
