Homebuilder brings on another pro

For the third time in the past year, Pat Neal, one of the most active homebuilders on the Gulf Coast, has a hired away a top executive from another company.

The most recent addition to Lakewood Ranch-based Neal Communities is Michael Storey, who was recently hired to run the building division of the company's new and existing home developments. Storey has worked for three large homebuilders in Florida, including the last 10 years with Taylor Morrison in Tampa, where he was a division president.

At Taylor Morrison, Storey oversaw the company's closings division and worked on land acquisition deals. Before Taylor Morrison, Storey worked in executive roles for two separate developers and builders in Orlando.
