David Tye
David Tye was raised in Abbeville, Alabama, where his passion for homebuilding was kindled at a young age. As a child, he ventured into his grandfather's workshop, using extra wood and borrowed tools to construct treehouses in the surrounding woods. These formative experiences ignited a lifelong love for building and craftsmanship.
After high school, David pursued higher education, earning an associate's degree in Drafting and Design. During his studies, he excelled in several national competitions, securing awards at both state and national levels, which further fueled his enthusiasm for construction and design.
​
Motivated by a deep sense of patriotism and inspired by the sacrifices of others, David enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps Infantry. Over an eight-year military career, he held various leadership roles and became an expert in mission planning. His expertise led him to instruct U.S. Army Rangers in mission planning techniques and procedures—a testament to his dedication and leadership abilities.
​
Following his honorable military service, David continued his education at American Military University, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Management. This academic achievement equipped him with essential organizational and project management skills that have been invaluable in his career.
​
In 2015, David founded Abbie Creek Construction with a commitment to return to his roots and serve the community he calls home. His deep connection to the people and landscape of the Southeast United States has been instrumental in building the company into the success it is today. Abbie Creek Construction has become the preferred homebuilder for those seeking to create their forever homes and is recognized as a local leader in the industry.
Happily married to his wife, Katie, for 11 years, David is the proud father of five children. He is dedicated to building a homestead for his family and is committed to being a good steward of the land that has been in his family for over a century. By utilizing sustainable farming and ranching techniques, he ensures the land's health and productivity for future generations.
​
When not working, David devotes his time to raising his family, which continues to inspire and motivate him. He looks forward to making a lasting impact in the world of homebuilding, one project at a time.
