President
Scott co-founded Yates Homes in 1986 with his cousin who at the time were in the farming business with their families. They realized they needed to make a living through the winter so they went to a manufacturer and asked to run service jobs for their customers. They made a deal that if they did a good job, they would pay us and if not, they would move on to something else. They did get paid and started from there. After learning this aspect of the business, they went to a contractor that was the best at that time moving and setting homes. Their agreement with him was they would work for him for 30 days at no pay if he would teach them how to do the moving and set of homes. This all worked out and Yates Homes was formed in October of 1986. They moved and set homes for many sales centers and then decided to move into the sales side. One of them moved and set homes and the other ran a sales center. 38 years later Scott is the sole owner and very happy he started this way in the first year of the company. It has been very rewarding for Scott seeing many families receive The American Dream of homeownership.
Chief Operating Officer
After eight years with Yates, I’ve stepped into the role of COO with deep roots across accounting, finance, administration, construction, and service. I’ve led the company’s move to job-costing and implemented a new accounting software system to give us clearer insight into profitability—and I’m always looking for the next opportunity to sharpen our operations.
Outside the office, you’ll usually find me with a fishing pole in hand or soaking up peace by the water. I’m also the proud mom of a recent high school graduate, cheering him on as he discovers where his next chapter will lead.
As a woman in leadership, I believe the so-called “glass ceiling” was meant to be shattered—and I hope my journey encourages others to keep climbing.
