Duke Brothers, Inc.

Description

Tom Duke Born and raised in the Nashville area, Tom Duke has had many adventures in his life. He has been in the air force, sold Electrolux vacuums, and been a banker. From Tennessee to Texas to California, Mr. Duke would eventually find himself in Atlanta before moving to High Point, where he has lived for more than 30 years. Mr. Duke made the decision to begin building on his land around 1987. He started a construction company focused on new homes, and subcontracted most of the work until his oldest son, Steve, came to work for him in the early 1990s. He continues to live in the lovely, early 20th century farm house on the top of the hill, but is now surrounded by several dozen single-family homes, most of which his company constructed. In his spare time, Tom enjoys music, including dancing and playing the saxophone. Steve Duke With a light Southern drawl, Steve still jokes he is from California, having been born in Los Angeles County. He spent his early childhood in Atlanta, but has lived most of his life in High Point, NC on the 70 original acres Tom purchased off Gordon Road. After high school, Steve learned the trades of a home builder, including framing, brick masonry, landscape grading, and drafting. He joined his father in the early 1990s, and together they soon managed all of the construction on Quail Run Farm. Steve enjoys playing drums, riding horses, home-winemaking, and traveling to his mother's native England every few years to visit extended family. Matt Duke Don't let the fact that Matthew Duke was born, raised, and continues to live in High Point fool you. With the spirit of a nomad, his experiences are varied and wide. As early as his teens, Matt began to learn the trade of a trim carpenter. He has worked for such prestigious names as Henredon and Ralph Lauren where his work has appeared in Architectural Digest and the bi-annual High Point furniture shows. Matthew has worked in and out of state constructing staircases and custom moldings. His most unique experience has involved trips to the private island of Mustique in the West Indies where he worked as a carpenter on many of the villas, as well as project manager on Shania Twain's holiday home. In 2007, Matt has acquired his general contractor's license and joined the family business. When he is not working, he enjoys spending time with his son Ethan, traveling abroad, white water kayaking, mountain biking, and riding horses. After seeing a Duke Brothers home on the Internet, I was determined they would build my dream home. Once visiting Quail Run, I believed it offered the quiet of the country with the convenience of the city. I love it here. Embee Humphrey Lisa Duke A Jersey girl at heart, Lisa has lived in the Triad since 1990. After working in the advertising and marketing field for nearly eight years, she attended graduate school to study geography. When the aerial photography firm with whom she was working decided to close their North Carolina office in 2004, Mrs. Duke found herself at a career crossroads. To help grow Duke Brothers, Lisa obtained her real estate license in 2005 and is now a new home sales specialist. Her newest adventure is joining the fold at Coldwell Banker TRIAD REALTORS
