Dwight (DJ) Harris grew up in a real estate family. His great-grandfather was an accomplished architect, his grandfather a structural engineer, his father a developer/builder and his mother a Realtor/Broker. Growing up DJ split his time between helping his mother at open houses and visiting job-sites with his father. Today, DJ is as passionate about construction and real estate as he was when he showed his first-grade class how to properly nail together 2x4's during "show and tell." He returned to the construction industry in 2013 to work with his father while finishing his MBA. His father, a visionary in land development, developed DJ’s love for land, quality construction, and architecture. In 2019, with Johnnycake’s 970 acre land development project completed, DJ moved to the production homebuilding side of the industry.
