Johnny

Meet Johnny 👋 Johnny is celebrating one year with @conneriiihomebuilders, bringing with him 28 years of experience in the construction industry and 10.5 years of service in the United States Marine Corps. His background has shaped a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and deep respect for teamwork. Johnny genuinely enjoys connecting with everyone involved in a project — from the crews in the field to the homeowners eagerly watching their vision come to life. For him, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a project start from the ground up and handing over a finished home to a happy owner.

A longtime friend of Benjamin’s, he now serves as Project Manager for Conner III Homebuilders, bringing decades of hands-on experience to every build. Clay graduated from Clemson in 2007 with a degree in Financial Management and a minor in Accounting, became a licensed real estate agent in 2012, and also serves as a controller and CFO for IT companies in South Carolina.
