In this week’s continuing Q&A series we spoke with Dennis Webb, vice president at Fulton Homes, via email.
Dennis- tell us the story about how you decided to go into home building. We assume it was sort of in your blood, but you made a deliberate choice and obviously was the precise right thing for you to do – how did you decide this business was indeed for you?
I started working in High School for a men’s clothing company, Hart, Schaffner, and Marx, put myself through college by selling suits, and progressed up the ladder to Store Manager, Buyer, Merchandise Manager, VP of Stores and Store President. I was President of an eight-store chain here in Phoenix called Hanny’s which is now a bar and Restaurant. After 20 years there, they went out of business, and I joined a clothing store in Los Angeles called Eagleson’s who was owned by Ira Fulton. I was VP of Sales there and Doug Fulton was the President. Ira Fulton sold the company in 1995, and after working with the company that he sold it to for a year, Ira and Doug wanted me to come over to Phoenix and join Fulton Homes. I told them I didn’t know anything about building houses, but I remember Ira saying, but you know about sales, marketing, and people, so we can teach you the building business. That was 22 years ago.
