RUSTY FINDLEY
President

     Born in Sylacauga, Alabama, Rusty Findley moved to Aiken, South Carolina in 1965 when he was 12 years old.  This moved was part of his father’s career with Kimberly-Clark who spent 39 years with the company.  Rusty has spent his entire life since then living in Aiken.  A graduate of Aiken High School, Rusty attended the University of South Carolina graduating in 1975 with a Business Degree.  Shortly after graduating USC he joined his mother, the late Etta Findley, in her Aiken real estate company, Findley-Blackburn Realtors.

     Rusty soon saw the need for a quality home builder in the Aiken area so he started Findley Construction Company in 1976.  The company has been going strong since due to the quality control and hands-on supervision made directly by Rusty himself.

     Like most all of us, Rusty decided to start a family of his own and married in 1980.  He and his wife Donna have 2 children, Kyle and Kelly.  Kyle is a graduate from the Engineering School at USC and currently employed with the Bechtel corporation.  Kelly is also a graduate of USC.

     Over the years with support of family, friends, and a great work force, Rusty has continued to build top quality homes in the Aiken area.  He is a business owner that is always conscious about his activities and quality of work.  Building mostly custom homes, along with some remodeling work, Rusty limits his quantity of work to about 8 new houses per year.  When asked why he doesn’t expand and build as many as possible each year like many homebuilders, Rusty simply replies, “I don’t want to lose control of the quality in the homes I build.”

     Active in the community, Rusty is a member of the Aiken County School Advisory Board and the University of SC at Aiken Economic Development Board.  Dedicated to his profession Rusty has served as Secretary, President-elect, and President of the Aiken County Home Builders Association and currently is one of its Directors.
