Managing Member & Founder
"Hello, I am Jeffery Whitman the founder of Whitman Development Group, a company forged from a deep-rooted passion for construction and service. Raised in a family of hard workers, with my father, a brick mason, as my mentor, I learned the value of craftsmanship from an early age. In 2012, I became the first in my family to earn a college degree from Old Dominion University, but my heart remained true to my construction roots. Four years later, Whitman Development Group was born with a commitment to delivering quality workmanship and excellent service. Our mission endures: to serve our community, create a great workplace, and to do the right thing each day."
