Bernie Malloy

is a “hands on” contractor with over 35 years of experience with a talent for innovative ideas and problem solving. He has orchestrated and supervised projects as diverse as office buildings, land developments, multi-million dollar homes, and a major reconstruction effort in St. Thomas following hurricane Marilyn. 

• Long before a shovel breaks ground, Bernie is able to build the new home in his head using his ability to thoroughly understand the complexity of the building process.     

Through pre-construction meetings with our trades-people he is often able to resolve issues before they become problems. 

"Each custom home brings its own challenges and rewards. Thinking and working through issues, whether they be design, structural or site driven and helping people create their dream home is very rewarding.  That reward is what drives us."

Judy Malloy 

uses her accounting degree to supervise the company’s financial and administrative matters. 

• Additionally, the experience gained as a member of the board of directors for several non-profit organizations including The American Red Cross, aides her in her vision of the 'big picture' and in developing long term goals for the business.

 

“Brightleaf has never been just about the destination: it has also been about the journey to get there. That philosophy has earned us the reputation that we enjoy today.”

• He also brings to Brightleaf Development his communications background, including his ability to speak Spanish and German.
