Tim’s interest in construction started at age 10 while helping his family remodel their 150 year old farmhouse in upstate New York. After earning an engineering degree at MIT he worked as a design and project engineer. While living in Lancaster, PA he renovated a home in the city’s historic district, studied cabinet making at night school and met and married Charlie and Charlotte Ross’s daughter, Candy. The rest is a lesson in nepotism. Tim is our in-house expert on construction materials, indoor air quality and energy conservation.Tim is a licensed professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Contrary to popular belief Chuck was not born with a hammer in his hand. He has however, spent his entire career in home construction in the Williamsburg area. Prior to joining Charles W. Ross, Builder, Inc., Chuck worked with our Superintendent, Kenny Ross, framing houses.

Charlie grew up a short 15 mile drive from Williamsburg. As the son of a carpenter/farmer, he decided at a young age that breathing sawdust was the better of the two alternatives. Although he began his career framing houses, Charlie gained expertise in other aspects of the building process by building homes for his family. Charlie spends the majority of his time in the field, ensuring the same quality standard is applied to each home we build. When he’s not working, Charlie enjoys spending time with his children and grandchildren. He especially loves teaching his British-born daughter-in-law and grandchildren to speak “proper English.”

Charlotte hails from the northern-most region of upstate New York (any farther north and she’d speak French). She had the good fortune and presence of mind to marry a southerner (Charlie was her brother’s college roommate) and move to Virginia early in life. After a career as a registered nurse, Charlotte joined the business full time as Customer Service Director. Charlotte will be your primary contact during construction and continuing right through your home’s warranty period.

Kenny Ross is Charlie and Charlotte’s nephew (yes, nepotism is rampant in the company.) Kenny is a Williamsburg area native who began framing houses with his Dad when he was old enough to carry a 2 x 4. Before joining Charles W. Ross, Builder, Inc. Kenny ran his own business framing homes and building home additions. As the Superintendent, Kenny coordinates material deliveries and the efforts of various trade partners to ensure your home is completed on time. You might enjoy learning about Kenny’s impressive collection of civil war relics, much of which he found prospecting with a metal detector in the Williamsburg area.

Keith is another transplant from the frozen north. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from the University of Michigan. Keith is ideally suited to help you design your custom home since he’s designed and personally built three of his own homes. Keith is also a walking wealth of trivia which he enjoys sharing at the office (don’t give up your day job, Keith).
