The Team

Charleston native, David Partridge, is a commercial general contractor and residential builder. He discovered at an early age his love of working with his hands to create something lasting and beautiful from raw materials.

He gleaned much of his knowledge from his grandfathers one of whom was an engineer and the other a commercial land and real-estate developer. He absorbed their knowledge in many areas of construction and fabrication. He grew up loving construction, carpentry and machine operating. Growing up he learned skills of craftsmanship and dedication. He has a love for fine wood craftsmanship and detail.

He enjoys spending time with his family and helping out in the community. When he is not building something, you can find him fishing in the intracoastal waterways.

Brooks Vaughn moved to the Lowcountry when he was 9 years old from Wilmington, NC. After high school he pursued a career in Culinary Management. Holding numerous positions for over 20 years, he gained experience in leadership and building lasting relationships. Brooks worked side by side with David in the early years of Peartree and a spark was ignited for his love of construction. He is a licensed home inspector with the S.C. Residential Builders Commission and came on board as a project manager in 2020.

Brooks married his beautiful wife Melanie in 2015, and they have two children, Wayland and Lydia. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, and anything outdoors.

Dustin Gongre has recently returned to the low country, after moving to Louisiana and traveling the country in the oil field. Dustin excelled in the oil and gas industry and became a driller on a rig in North Dakota. Before returning back home to Goose Creek, he also worked in Pennsylvania and Texas. Dustin has a strong background in construction. We believe his experience managing a drilling rig, and his time in residential building, will be an asset to Peartree Homes and his management of projects.

Dustin has a blooming family, including his son, Devin, that is 13, and he has a baby girl named Olivia. He is currently engaged to his high school sweetheart and is looking forward to getting married. Dustin and his family enjoy playing disk golf on the weekends and love being outside.
