John Cronly
President
John grew up in Richmond and attended Hampden-Sydney College. During his summer breaks, he worked in the construction industry learning the trades from the ground up. Upon graduating in 2006, John spent many months exploring career opportunities and met with professionals in the fields of real estate and investments. It wasn't long before he realized that he was not meant to sit behind a desk as he enjoyed working more with his hands and being outside and on a job site. He started his career as a carpenter’s helper with the first contractor and worked his way into a Carpenter position. He was a Project Coordinator with the second contractor he worked for. Through learning the trade, he became passionate about building and construction. He launched Hampden Hill Custom Building (HHCB) in June of 2009. He enjoys spending time with his wife, Jo, their three children, and their dog, Lucy. John is an active member of HBAR and PRO Central VA and continues to be engaged in Richmond outreach.

Susan Kane
Business Manager
Susan grew up in Fairfax County and attended Hollins College where she majored in Economics and Spanish. She began her 16 year career in Finance with the International Monetary Fund in D.C. where she worked abroad in Austria and Dubai. In 2008, she resigned from the IMF so that she could stay at home to raise her three children. A few years later, Susan and her husband Vic (VMI '93) decided to leave the rat race behind and moved to Richmond for a slower pace and better quality of life. They made their home in the far west end where they are involved in their community and their children's schools and sports teams. They enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors with their yellow Lab. After 2 years of working at the Capital One West Creek campus, Susan assumed the position of Business Manager at Hampden Hill. She has thoroughly enjoyed being part of the HHCB team and is excited about the progress of the design center and the continued growth of the company.
