With more than 22 years of experience in residential construction, Jason Faulkner brings deep industry knowledge and a passion for helping people build homes they truly love. His career began in an unexpected way—while working as a teacher, he launched his own fence company in 2000. That hands-on introduction to construction led to a full-time transition into the homebuilding industry just a few years later, and he’s never looked back.

Originally from New Mexico, Jason has called South Carolina home for the past 30 years. Over the course of his career, he has served in nearly every role the industry offers, from fence contractor and trim carpenter to superintendent, construction manager, and Division President for two regional builders. He’s also a former board member and past president (2018) of the Horry Georgetown Home Builders Association.

Jason’s interest in building goes all the way back to high school, when he participated in a building trades program where students helped construct full homes. That early experience stuck with him, and it’s shaped his approach ever since. He takes pride in delivering not just a finished home, but a great experience—focusing on customer service, communication, and relationships.

Outside of work, Jason enjoys playing golf (or at least trying to). It’s a way to relax and connect with friends, family, and industry partners. He remains active in the local homebuilders association and stays engaged with legislation and trends that impact the construction world.

Bethany, originally from Maryland, has been calling the Carolinas home since 2010. She has a background in financial services and hospitality. When she’s not assisting the team at Kingfish Bay, Bethany enjoys time with her husband, daughter and black lab.

Originally from Grand Island, NE, Tyler resides in North Myrtle Beach with his 3 teenage sons and his wife of 20+ years. He has served in the construction industry in various capacities for over 35 years. After working for a custom home builder through high school, Tye studied architecture at Arizona State University. He put his design skills to use back in Nebraska where he designed custom homes and began a custom framing company. As the industry slowed in the Midwest, he was attracted to the booming Myrtle Beach area in the mid 90’s where he again designed/built many custom homes. His passion for building aligns with the Kingfish team’s vision, striving to deliver a 5 star product.

My clients feel more confident and excited about their project when I’m there to guide them through the process.”
She resides in North Myrtle Beach along with her husband, Tye, and their three sons. Believing in community support, she spends most of her extra time organizing events and fundraisers for the North Myrtle Beach High School Football and Lacrosse programs. “A busy mom knows how to multitask because she has to, and this only makes me better at my job” she states.
