I founded ADG Custom Homes in 2017 with a specific goal: to close the gap between high-level design and on-site execution.

Before I was a builder, I spent 13 years in an architectural studio. During that time, I often saw a disconnect in our industry. Beautiful and technical plans would be handed off to builders who didn’t fully understand the design intent, or who viewed complex details as "hassles" rather than features. The result was often a compromise.

I built ADG to be the solution to that problem.

A Different Kind of Build Process Because of my technical background, I don't just read the plans, I speak the language. When you build with ADG, you aren't hiring a general contractor who simply manages subcontractors. You are hiring a partner who understands the "why" behind every architectural line on your paper.

I look for the details others miss. I anticipate the structural challenges before we break ground. And most importantly, I ensure the final home honors the original vision.

Intentional Exclusivity: You Work With Me In the construction industry, the "hand-off" is common. You meet the owner during the sales process, sign the contract, and are immediately passed to a junior Project Manager you’ve never met.

That is not how ADG operates.

I deliberately cap the number of custom builds we take on each year. By keeping our volume low, I ensure that I remain your primary point of contact and the lead on your project site. When you hire ADG, you get my personal oversight from the first shovel of dirt to the final punch list—guaranteeing that your home is built by the person you trusted to build it.

My Commitment to You Building a custom home in North Atlanta is a significant investment of your time and capital. I respect that by running a transparent, fiscally responsible operation. From our initial feasibility study to the final walk-through, my focus is on delivering a home that is built as beautifully as it was designed.

I am proud of the reputation we’ve built in North Atlanta, but I am even prouder of the relationships we maintain with our clients long after the keys are handed over.

I look forward to hearing your story and helping you build your future.

The Architect’s Eye. The Builder’s Precision.
