Tim McCarty

Project Manger

Tim attended The University of South Carolina as a member of their baseball team and earned a degree in business. While being a member of the team he learned valuable life lessons including the value of good teammates, work ethic, and positive attitude to name a few. All these qualities helped lead him to King and Society because of their similar mindset.  First there were a couple stops along the way… 

After college he worked as a salesman for a nationwide fitness equipment company.  In his years there he learned valuable skills which allow him to communicate effectively with customers as well as help fulfill their needs.  Also, during this time he started in construction, remodeling homes for others as well as homes he lived in.  This love for the construction field led him to pursue a full-time career in construction management.  He worked for two high end builders until he met Trae and Troy and his skills and beliefs lined up with King and Society’s which made him a natural fit.

When not at work he enjoys spending time with his wife and three kids when they aren’t running all over for sports, and pretty much anything outdoors.
