The 1776® Community is a grass-roots movement combining the elements of American patriotism, the American Dream of home ownership and the founding ideals of The United States of America: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The movement’s mission is to advance American Patriotism at the zip code level and in new communities and neighborhoods in all 50 states. The 1776® Community is Where Americanism Lives.

For 25 years, I have developed 20 residential subdivisions and more than 1,000 homes. Currently, my land development and building company, NewStyle Communities, has neighborhoods in Charlotte and Greenville. In 2023, I founded The 1776® Community and launched the brand in a project in suburban Charlotte – and the launch went viral. Building upon the initial success of 1776® Gastonia, I decided to license the brand to builders and developers nationwide. Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen American patriotism.

1776® licensees become part of a movement and an emerging, fast-growing brand. Ultimately, and as compared to a non-1776® community, a licensee will gain more leads, more sales and more money. Additionally, licensees will inherit quality, on-brand sales and marketing material, proven playbooks on opening a 1776® community and igniting a public relations campaign, and strategic guidance from an experienced builder and developer who launched the first-ever 1776® community.
