Brandon began building homes, specifically to fill a niche he felt underserved- young families just starting out and empty nesters who were downsizing. We craft affordable homes built to the same high standard as the finest homes anywhere.

 

Born and raised in Gilmer, Texas, Brandon graduated from Gilmer High School before enlisting in the Texas Army National Guard at 17. Completing Basic Training at Ft Leonard Wood, Mo., he later served full-time in the US Army at Ft Hood, TX. Brandon's diverse career spans roles as an apprentice electrician, equipment operator, and oilfield rig worker, with experiences that took him across states, from installing artificial turf to working as a Petroleum Landman. Returning to Gilmer, he purchased his father's business, Lloyd's Body Shop, and contributed significantly to the community, serving as the former owner of Lloyd's Body Shop and playing a key role in founding the Auto Body Association of Texas. Brandon's impact extends to legislative advocacy, organizing events, and educational presentations on vehicle safety features. Since 2011, he has been actively involved in various community roles, consistently striving to create opportunities for the next generation.
