About Toll Brothers

I began my career with Toll Brothers right out of college. Since then, I've had the opportunity to work as a sales associate, sales manager, assistant project manager, senior project manager, and now, Director of Community Planning.

Toll Brothers has many attributes that sets it apart from other companies. One of the top reasons I enjoy working for this company is the incredible learning opportunities available. As a Director of Community Planning, I get to be involved in marketing, accounting, sales, construction, land acquisition, land development, etc. The list goes on. I am very thankful that, on a daily basis, I have the opportunity to work with intelligent, enthusiastic individuals from our corporate office to our divisional office to our onsite sales and construction teams.

It is exciting to be a part of creating communities from start to finish. The best part is watching happy homeowners move into their dream home.

I began my career with Toll Brothers Houston in April 2014 as the lone member of the Land Development team. Since then, we have grown the team and produced beautiful award-winning communities in the Greater Houston area. I began as a Land Development Manager and have earned the promotions of Senior Land Development Manager, Director of Development, and now I’m the Vice President of Land Development!

Toll Brothers has many attributes that set it apart from other companies. One of the top reasons I enjoy working for this company is the culture and continual progress in listening and addressing its employees' input and concerns. Also, Toll Brothers' stellar market reputation is second to none! I am blessed, on a daily basis, to have the opportunity to work with intelligent, innovative individuals to provide a top notch product and superb customer service. I also have the opportunity to mentor and inspire minority youth to take the path of residential development and construction which encourages a more diverse future.

Few things compare to being a part of creating communities from start to finish and watching families make memories that will last a lifetime.

When I first graduated from college, I took a job with another national builder in a construction management training program, spending time as a superintendent and as a purchasing agent. I learned a lot, but I also knew that I didn't want to limit my career to any one facet of the business. I wanted to learn the entire business.

Toll Brothers gave me the opportunity that I sought. Almost immediately after I started with the company as an assistant project manager, I found myself working with Sales, Marketing, Construction, Architecture, Land Development, Land Acquisition, Accounting, etc. As I progressed in my career, I had input in and eventually responsibility for managing people and running communities. I have worked on everything from small 60-lot single-family subdivisions to mid-rise condominiums to 1000-lot master-plan communities. The diversity of the projects exposed me to new things and made my job both educational and interesting.

Looking back, I'm thankful I applied to join the management training program. Working with Toll Brothers has allowed me to grow personally and professionally. I'm proud to work for Toll Brothers, and it has been a great place to build my career.

I was hired in 2005 to be the first project manager within Toll's recently-formed New York City urban division. With four projects already underway when I started, I was more than a little overwhelmed by all that I had to learn and the work ahead of our new team. However, I was fortunate to be given the irreplaceable opportunity to be involved in almost every aspect of the development process. The management team I worked with placed trust in my abilities, which allowed me to grow, test, and hone my project management skills. Through those experiences with the NY Urban team, I developed the confidence to know that I could undertake any new project or responsibility that came my way. One of my proudest accomplishments while working in this division was to serve as the project manager of Toll Brothers' first high-rise building in Manhattan - One Ten Third.

After relocating to Virginia, I was thrilled to join Toll Brothers’ local teams, where I could further develop my expertise and contribute to the company’s success. Over the past several years, I collaborated with the DC Metro Land Acquisition team to identify new opportunities, partnered with division leadership to develop, and implement strategic initiatives, and led the Community Planning Team.

As Division President, I now oversee all aspects of operations, including Land Acquisition, Community Planning, Production, Purchasing, and Sales. I am honored to lead a team of exceptional professionals who are dedicated to creating communities that exemplify Toll Brothers’ commitment to quality, innovation, and excellence.

The growth opportunities at Toll Brothers are what you would expect from a successful Fortune 500 company. I joined the company as a studio associate and I am now an Architectural Assistant Director. My mentors have been very supportive, so I expect to further advance my career here.

I love that the studio environment at Toll Architecture allows us to be involved in various stages of a project. It has been a great experience to see projects evolve from hand-drawn sketches to mock-up models. I look forward to what the future holds for me and my talented team.

I was hired in 2004 by Toll Brothers to start its New York City urban division. I was given a title, director of acquisition and development, a cell phone and a laptop computer and told to find space for my office and sites for development. Fortunately, the market was in an up-cycle at this time, and I was able to purchase a couple of good sites that only got better when we were in pre-development. I began hiring people to work on these sites, and as the division grew, I became a vice president, a senior vice president, then a division president, and now president.

While each of our projects is exciting and rewarding in its own way, Pierhouse stands out as one that it is truly unique. This hotel and condominium project in Brooklyn Bridge Park represents the first hotel development in our company's history. The building was designed such that each condominium unit has tremendous views of the park, East River, and the iconic Manhattan skyline. Many units also enjoy views of the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge.

We have been successful in New York City because of a combination of being given the autonomy needed to adapt our product to the local market and the strong support that we have received from Toll headquarters. This support includes the foresight that Bob Toll provided with his decision to enter the urban market, the strong guidance that senior management has provided, and the assistance given by the legal, marketing, finance, accounting and human resource departments. Without this combination of autonomy and support, we would not have been able to achieve the success that we have experienced.

Working at Toll Brothers has been an invaluable experience. The level of responsibility and trust that Toll Brothers gives its employees is rare in a company of its size, and it's truly a testament to the respect the company has for its employees.

One of the best aspects of working in project management for Toll Brothers is the depth and breadth of its focus. By managing every aspect of one or two communities, we have the opportunity to get very much involved in decision-making and day-to-day operations, thus truly taking ownership of the homes and communities that we build. Focusing on a single community also allows us to work on the jobsite alongside sales, construction, land development, and customer service, which has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my career.

Toll Brothers is one of the largest homebuilders in the country, yet working here still feels like working for a small company in many ways. Management at both the local division and corporate levels is invested in the growth and success of its employees. There is a true sense of pride in every home and community we build, much like what would be expected from a local builder. Being able to connect with our home buyers and watch the transformation of our communities every day makes my job unique and exciting.
