Rick Normoyle has been an influential part of the Christopher Companies family since 2017. Rick grew up in Montgomery County, MD and still calls it home today. Rick pursued a college education toward Business Marketing and Management, but soon found a desire to move forward in the real estate industry. He joined Long and Foster, Inc in Potomac, MD in 2010 and followed that with a new home sales career where he learned the sales, marketing, and management side with the likes of Kettler Forlines Homes, Richmond American Homes, & Greentree Homes. Rick quickly realized his passion in life was the ability to help connect families with the American dream while also having an opportunity to create jobs with the successes that new home sales provided.

At the same time, he was honored Platinum Award winner by the Builders & Remodelers Association of Delaware which is the highest honor for new home sales managers in Delaware.

Jim joined the Christopher companies team in 2018 as Director of purchasing and was promoted to Vice President in 2022. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Jim earned a BS in Architecture and Design from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
After working at a small design studio completing commercial office fit out and residential remodeling and renovation, he began spending more time at client sites managing vendors and subcontractors which led to an interest in the assembly of projects more than the design. Jim worked as a construction manager for Ryan Homes, project manager at Fairfield Homes, and a production manager at Pulte Homes. Interested in learning the business side of construction, job site revisions and on-the-fly budget estimates lead to a new role in purchasing and contracting. Jim transitioned to purchasing with a position at Drees Homes, and then at Basheer and Edgemoore Homes before starting his own remodeling business where he put all his construction knowledge to work in sales, marketing, purchasing, and production.
His career in home building has lasted several decades and includes building many single family and townhomes, in Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia. Planning and assisting in product design has brought him full circle to his architect and design beginnings. Establishing specifications, assembling costs and ultimately house and community budgets led him to becoming Vice President of Purchasing Operations for Christopher Companies.

IN LOVING MEMORY (1938 – 2018) Fred Kober founded The Christopher Companies in 1974, with operations in both Northern Virginia and the Tidewater area of Virginia. Through the years, he has provided the vision for the firm’s development. Fred’s insight and experience now provide the basis for The Christopher Companies’ ongoing endeavors. As an invaluable link to the past and a tie to the future, Fred, as as the former Chairman of the Board, consulted on all aspects of management of The Christopher Companies. Fred believed in giving back to the communities where he built through charitable works, most notably the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association’s “Builder’s House 2001” project in 1994, which raised over half a million dollars for the Ronald McDonald House, as well as for other local charities. He was a tremendous leader and mentor and we will always remember his gentle spirit and unwavering dedication to the company that he built.
