Founder & CEO · Healthy Building Expert

Richie Brown

Richie took an unconventional route into construction. After earning multiple degrees at Mississippi State University and playing three years in the NFL, he went to work for one of the most reputable medical contracting firms in the region.

There, the Lord prompted him to start a company that could fill a void he kept seeing in the market: custom homes held to equal standards for beauty, craftsmanship and performance.

Today Richie is involved in every Beacon build, working alongside our superintendents and project managers with his eyes on every critical milestone. He also advises homeowners and builders on healthy, high-performance homes across the country.

He and his wife, Erin, have two girls, Kate and Ellie.

Lindsay Myers

Director of Operations & Finance

Lindsay Myers

Lindsay grew up around construction. Her father was a contractor, and she later helped run her husband's plumbing company before joining Beacon.

Lindsay's father built and remodeled many homes, so job sites were part of her childhood. After high school she attended Christ for the Nations and earned a degree in Practical Theology, then served in women's ministry roles across the South.

Her work in building continued with her husband, a Master Plumber. She helped run his plumbing company for several years before coming to Beacon.

Her favorite job title is "Mom" to three wild and crazy kiddos who fill her life with laughter, love and a decent amount of dirt.

Richard Brown

Project Manager

A background in aerospace, engineering and drone technology, including work with NASA, now applied to how Beacon homes are built.

Richard's career began in scientific research and development and led to collaboration with NASA on advanced aviation and data systems. That experience shaped how he thinks about structure and performance.

On the job site he's known for calm leadership, a technical eye and a talent for solving problems before they become problems. He brings building science and data-driven decisions into every phase of construction.

His goal is simple: build homes that stand the test of time, and create clients for life in the process.
