EM Holt Building Services

​James leads the operations of EM Holt Building Services, Greenleaf's in house general contractor. Licensed in 4 states across the Southeast, our construction centers around multi-family and historic office renovations. James' main emphasis during the execution of a project is to deliver product that gives a sense of home to Greenleaf's residents and office tenants. The construction team has completed over 20 renovation projects, to date, and sees a bright future ahead with the growth of the company. 

​James is a lover of the outdoors, music and sports. He enjoys bird hunting, snow and water skiing, and playing fetch with his dog, Boone. He is a lifelong fan of the Green Bay Packers, and supports his college team, the Clemson Tigers. On more leisurely days, he can be found strumming his guitar or listening to rock n' roll. He and his wife, Erin, love to travel, and she cheerfully tolerates his love of vintage clothing and to sport unique mustaches. His favorite quote is "Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out."
