Brightleaf Development is a close-knit family business that believes in strong relationships. This business has never been just about the destination: it has also been about the journey to get there. That philosophy has earned us the reputation that we enjoy today.

Bernie Malloy is a “hands on” contractor with many years of field experience, as well as a talent for innovative ideas and problem solving. He has orchestrated and supervised projects as diverse as office buildings, land developments, multi-million dollar homes, and a major reconstruction effort in St. Thomas following hurricane Marilyn.

Judy Malloy uses her accounting degree to supervise the company’s financial and administrative matters. Additionally,  the experience gained as a member of the board of directors for several non-profit organizations including The American Red Cross, aides her in her vision of the 'big picture' and in developing long term goals for the business.

Cory Malloy graduated from the State University of New York with a degree in business management. He realized that building was where his heart was. He joined Brightleaf Development in 1998 and is now a partner in Brightleaf Customer Care LLC. He has earned the prestigious North Carolina Builder Institute’s Master Builder accreditation.

Mike Cook is Brightleaf’s journeyman carpenter/supervisor. He adds age-old experience to the mix, incorporating proven building methods to balance modern materials. He skillfully supervises trade contractors, while diligently listening and implementing the needs of our clients.

Shane Malloy is the newest member of the team. He brings to Brightleaf Development his communications background, including his ability to speak Spanish and German. As Project Coordinator, he acts as a liaison between the homeowner, the suppliers and tradesman. He is also an expert on “Green” building and the force behind Brightleaf’s (Federal) Energy Star and (North Carolina) Healthy Built Home certifications.
