I have been a co owner of Walker Lumber & Supply, a full-service lumber and building materials store, since 2016. With over 24 years of experience in the construction and energy sectors, I bring strategic leadership, new business development, and mentoring skills to our team of experts who serve the Greater Nashville area and beyond. Our company has a long history of providing quality products and personal service to our customers, who include custom contractors, homebuilders, remodelers, preservationists, and homeowners. I am passionate about growing and diversifying our business, creating strategic partnerships, and delivering value to our customers and stakeholders. Before joining Walker Lumber & Supply, I founded and led Daylight Capital, a consulting and investment firm that served the lower middle market. I also owned and operated Ray Hayles Company, a market leader in the construction and energy sectors, where I successfully navigated the global economic crisis of 2008 by pivoting, diversifying, and rethinking our distribution lines. I enjoy collaborating with owners, management, and employees to achieve shared goals and overcome challenges.
Listed skills include Strategic Planning, Business Development, Sales, Strategy, and 19 others.
