ABOUT TAMPA BAY BUILDS

At Homes By Tampa Bay Builds, we recognize that the Greater Tampa Bay area is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, lifestyles, and architectural tastes. To serve this region authentically, we have cultivated a team that reflects that same diversity. We believe a home should be as strong—and as multifaceted—as the people who build it.

By uniting a wide array of backgrounds and specialized skills, we are able to solve complex challenges and create truly custom designs that a “one-size-fits-all” builder simply cannot replicate. Our diversity of thought is our greatest tool, allowing us to see possibilities where others see blueprints.

Whether we are building in the heart of Tampa, along the Pinellas coast, or across the rolling hills of Pasco, we don’t just build houses; we build with integrity. At Homes By Tampa Bay Builds, we are committed to delivering a high-quality, high-touch experience that treats every client like a neighbor and every project like a landmark.

  • Billy Mitchell

    Managing Partner

    Hi, I’m Billy. As a Partner and the Head of Field Operations, I serve as the operational backbone of the firm. Being a Tampa native, I have spent my entire career shaping our local landscape, having successfully overseen the construction of more than 10,000 homes.

    Throughout my career, I have maintained a relentless focus on quality control, site safety, and the seamless execution of complex builds. By combining decades of field experience with a deep understanding of structural planning and project budgeting, I ensure that every project we undertake is delivered to the highest professional standards.

    Because I was born and raised here, I feel a deep personal investment in the growth of our community. I remain a hands-on leader, coordinating everything from our Buildertrend workflows to the final architectural details of landmark projects like 469 Severn Ave. I take great pride in turning design renders into high-quality homes for my fellow Floridians. When I’m not on-site, you can usually find me enjoying my time out on the water.

  • Landon Coady

    Managing Partner

    Hi, I’m Landon, managing partner and Head of Business Development. I’ve built my career on merging a high-level analytical background with a "boots-on-the-ground" expertise in construction. To bring a unique edge to the building process, I earned my degree in Economics from the University of South Florida. This background allows me to lead Business Development with a focus on fiscal responsibility and long-term value for my clients.

    While I was born in Michigan, I’ve spent most of my life in the Tampa area. Understanding Florida’s unique environment, I believe that true luxury starts with a build that is engineered to last for generations. I pride myself on being a partner who understands both the complex math of the investment and the technical grit of the job site.

    When I’m not helping clients navigate their builds, I’m usually making the most of the Florida outdoors. Whether I’m out fishing, golfing, or spending time with my dog, Tucker, I believe in staying connected to the community and the landscape that we call home.

    I look forward to helping you build something extraordinary.

  • David Trexler

    Project Manager

    Hello, I’m David Trexler, and as your Project Manager, I will be your main point of contact throughout the entire building process. I oversee every step of construction, ensuring that we adhere to the timeline and budget while effectively coordinating all activities. I will handle the permitting process and maintain consistent communication with the architect and engineers to efficiently move your plans toward approval. Above all, I am committed to ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety throughout the entire build.

    I bring over 20 years of experience in the construction industry. I started my career as a framer, eventually owning my own framing crew, and grew into a Construction Manager overseeing numerous custom homes. This hands-on background gives me a deep understanding of every phase of construction, which I leverage to ensure your project's success.

    In my free time, I enjoy playing pool and spending time with my wife and family.

  • Julie Parrott

    Design Coordinator

    As your Design Coordinator, we will work side-by-side to select the fixtures and finishes that make your home uniquely yours. I know this journey can feel overwhelming, so I’m here to keep the process organized and enjoyable! My mission is to make sure you feel seen and heard throughout the project, ensuring the final result is a true reflection of your lifestyle.

    I bring a distinctive edge to the design process. After design school, I began my career as a Project Manager and Site Supervisor for a custom home builder. That foundational construction knowledge means I don’t just understand how a finish looks—I understand how it installs and performs. I have worn a lot of hats over the years and strongly believe in doing whatever it takes to do right by the client to get the job done correctly.

    While I’m a proud Florida native, I have also called California and Australia home. I have a passion for traveling to new destinations and immersing myself in new experiences.

    Outside of work, I love finding my rhythm—whether that’s through Pilates, rollerblading, or playing guitar and singing!

    Hi! I’m Lorena. As the Director of Finance, I’m here to guide you through budgets, contracts, and all the financial details that keep your project organized and on track. My goal is to make everything clear and easy to understand so you always feel confident about every step we take together.

  • Johanna Acuña

    Assistant Coordinator

    Hi! I’m Johanna. As the Project Accounting Coordinator for Homes by TBB, I ensure accuracy and transparency at every stage of the purchasing and billing process. I verify quantities, selections, pricing, and vendor invoices so each project is billed correctly and stays aligned with its budget. I support the team by organizing purchase orders, reviewing invoices, tracking lien waivers, monitoring vendor compliance, and keeping all documentation up to date. With a focus on clarity, precision, and consistency, I make sure no detail is overlooked. My goal is to help every project run smoothly, protect the budget, and make the financial side of building seamless for both our clients and our team.

    Graduated as a Business Administrator and Journalist, and with experience as an account executive, I bring the skills to keep your projects organized, on track, and running smoothly. I manage every detail behind the scenes so you can focus on your vision with confidence.

    On a personal note, I am a proud Venezuelan mom who draws inspiration and energy from my loving family. I enjoy dancing, kayaking, daily workouts, volleyball, and reading a good book on the beach. My greatest treasures—my husband, daughter, and loved ones—are my sanctuary and motivation to give my very best every day.
