Gerald Kamp served as President of the Hickory-Catawba Valley Home Builders Association in
1979, 1985, 1996.

Gerald grew up in the building business, as his father was a contractor in Florida for many years. After serving in the Air Force for 12 years, as computer programmer instructor at the US Air Intelligence Training Center, Gerald left the military to pursue a career in banking with the North Carolina National Bank in Charlotte, as a systems analyst.

After 2 years, the urge to return to the building business was too great. At the same time, an opportunity to join the sales staff of one of the areas leading building material suppliers allowed Gerald to return to the building business. In 1972, "HOMES by Gerald Kamp" was started with a simple classified ad which read, "Why rent, when you can buy for little or nothing down?" Now with over 450 customers, we continue to strive to meet our goal of complete customer satisfaction.
