Courtney has been involved in the construction industry for most of his life. From an early age he played a role in the management of his father’s residential contracting business where his duties ranged from drafting contracts, organizing jobsites and performing in different trade and labor capacities. Courtney credits a lot of his early success to the hard work and guidance passed on by his father and uncle.
In 1998 after graduating from college Courtney joined The Widewaters Group, Inc. in Dewitt, New York to obtain experience in the commercial construction and real estate development field. In his eight years with the firm he quickly advanced roles from Project Manager to Construction Executive. Courtney oversaw the construction of many fast track construction and development projects in the office, medical and retail sectors. His roles and responsibilities at Widewaters allowed him to wear many different hats including design builder, owner’s representative, general contractor and construction manager.
His years of working for a long term owner and investor have helped develop his vision and approach to design, construction and real estate development. His “build it like you own it attitude” is one of the key ingredients to serving CBD clients needs. Courtney joined CBD Builders, LLC as a partner in 2006 and was appointed President in 2008.
In 2009 Courtney and Chuck Sangster launched CBD Companies which includes a Construction, Brokerage Development company.
Courtney is a 1997 Graduate of Stony Brook University and resides in Manlius with his wife and three daughters.
