What bubble? Homebuilding executive believes region is well 'behind the supply curve.'

Mark Metheny graduated from Florida State with a degree in accounting and went to work for KPMG.

But in 2001 he seized an opportunity to join Lennar, a leading U.S. homebuilder with a strong presence on the west coast of Florida. He quickly outgrew the company’s accounting team and has been on a leadership track since 2004, when he became Lennar’s director of sales and marketing. Now 45, he heads up the company’s central Florida division, based in Tampa. Miami-based Lennar is the second-largest homebuilder in the country, according to the Builder magazine Top 100, behind D.R.Horton. Lennar had $12.65 billion in revenue in 2017.
