Meet the people who build it

Peartree is deliberately small. The same people price your project,
manage the site and answer the phone — from the first
conversation to the final punch list.

David Partridge, Founder and CEO at Peartree Homes

David Partridge

Founder & CEO

A Charleston native who found his way into building early, learning fabrication and carpentry from his grandfathers — one an engineer, the other a commercial developer. Commercial general contractor and residential builder. Outside work: family, fishing, golf and camping.

Brooks Vaughn

Director of Operations

Born in North Carolina, raised in Charleston. Brooks spent two decades in restaurants and catering before returning to construction in 2020, became a licensed residential builder, and joined as a partner in 2025. Husband and father of four; golfs, fishes and gardens.

Amanda Pecora, Controller at Peartree Homes

Degrees in marketing and management plus a real estate broker license, and more than ten years in managerial and administrative work. Amanda runs HR, benefits, payroll, AP/AR and monthly billing. In Summerville since 2017, and a longtime gluten-free regular at the farmers market.

Avalon Bohunicky

Brand Manager

Born and raised in New York, Avalon began her career in NYC across media, advertising and marketing for nationally recognized brands, bringing close to a decade in brand marketing and client management. Charleston’s coastal charm brought her south in 2021.

Molly Rothenberg

Designer

From Long Island, with an Interior Design degree from High Point University and residential and commercial work in New York and Tennessee behind her. Molly designs homes around how each client actually lives, balancing beauty with function. Beach, running, travel, and her dog Leonard.

Luther Rein-Weston, Project Manager at Peartree Homes

Luther Rein-Weston

Project Manager

Originally from Michigan, recently relocated to Charleston. Twenty-plus years in construction and remodeling have made Luther a meticulous craftsman and project manager, on minor renovations and full custom builds alike. Family time, the outdoors, and projects at home.

Zach West, Assistant Project Manager at Peartree Homes

Zach West

Assistant Project Manager

From Boone, North Carolina, raised around residential construction working alongside his father, a custom home builder. A former Division I football captain at ETSU, Zach brings that discipline to site coordination and keeps communication open through completion.

Why It Matters

No handoffs, no call center

On most residential projects this size, the person who sells the job disappears the moment the contract is signed. That’s where budgets drift and communication breaks down.
