EXECUTIVE TEAM
REX VICK, Jr.
(rvick@windjamdevelopment.com)
Rex Vick, Jr. serves as Windjam’s CEO and President. He graduated from the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School (Chapel Hill, NC) in 1993 with an emphasis in real estate followed by an advanced degree in mortgage banking in College Park, MD. Obtaining his real estate broker’s license in 1991 before graduating from Carolina established his interest in real estate transactions. He immediately entered the world of financing post-graduation, filling executive positions in three large national banks in North Carolina in his first five years out of school. During this time, he worked on large credit exposures, which included large planned developments and presented them for approval to the Bank’s board. In addition, he issued numerous construction lines of credit to some of the Triangle’s most respected homebuilders. It was through these credit extensions that he fostered long lasting personal and professional relationships with the area’s reputable builders, whom continue to build in Windjam’s communities. In the past eight years, Rex founded a mortgage lending operation, a building company, a builder marketing company, and has invested in various regional golf courses. Because he was born and raised in Wilson, North Carolina, and has lived in the Triangle since 1989, he feels a special attachment to the area and its growth. Rex is committed to Windjam as a “developer of the Carolinas.” His background and contacts with local government agencies and community planners allow Windjam to resolve challenging development issues and specialize in developing premium communities.
