North Carolina home builder David L. Pressly, Jr. was elected as the 2006 president of the 220,000-member National Association of Home Builders during the 62nd annual International Builders Show in Orlando last month.
Pressly is president of Pressly Development and has more than 25 years of experience in the home building business. He primarily constructs multifamily and light- commercial projects in the Statesville area near Charlotte. His company owns and manages more than 1,000 apartment units. Although David recognizes that a cooling process has begun in single-family and condo markets, he is optimistic that 2006 will be another good year for our industry.
Also elected to top NAHB leadership positions for 2006 were First Vice President Brian Catalde, from Playa del Rey, Cal.; Vice President/Treasurer Sandy Dunn, from Point Pleasant, W. Va.; and Vice President/Secretary Joe Robson, from Tulsa, Okla.
