Chuck, Virginia and Le San Michelle
Charles (Chuck) Fleming
By all intents and purposes, I was going to be a banker. But, while earning my degree in accounting at The University of Texas, I made a discovery. I was good at finance, but it wasn’t the profession for me.
I had done some construction during the summer and was fascinated by the process. So, I went to work for a large homebuilder, moved up in the ranks, and decided to step out on my own. I built my first spec house while I was still in my 20s, but built it like a custom home. It sold. I built another. And what started as shooting at the moon evolved into a thriving custom home building practice that’s 25 years strong.
The thing is, I still get up every morning and think I have the best job in the world.
