TGU Home Solutions, a veteran-owned construction firm based in Aberdeen, North Carolina, was one of three businesses thrown into the national spotlight through the Fox Business contest, earning $25,000 and a feature on Fox Nation.“To hear that you know this small company from Aberdeen, North Carolina, can be on a national stage with some pretty healthy companies … is amazing,” Gay told the Washington Examiner. “I never thought I’d own a business … [and] I never thought I’d be here, and on a national stage, and having the boys be spotlighted and get their story out feeds our story as a company.”
After serving over 20 years in the Army, Gay decided to do something he never thought he would: start his own business, which he describes as “the boys.” In 2020, he founded TGU Home Solutions, an acronym for “the ground up.”
The team of eight at TGU Home Solutions specializes in “bespoke residences,” “curated speculative homes,” and “distinguished commercial developments,” according to the firm’s website.
“When I left the military is when I really found out how hard civilian life is and that I had buddies that were struggling as much as I was,” Gay told the Washington Examiner. Starting TGU “kind of changed, changed from just me growing a business to me growing friends and family.”
