Croxall Residential

Mike Croxall

President

A Chattanooga-native, Mike struck gold when meeting his wife, Hilde, a Norwegian exchange student, back in the days of big hair and short shorts. They settled in Chattanooga, TN, where they raised three sons, Hayden, Kristian, and Camden. Mike started his career in marketing and sales before launching businesses in vehicle rentals and pallet supply during the 90s and early 2000s. During the recession, Mike moved into the realm of construction, starting Croxall Construction Company in 2008. His company has grown to encompass both residential and commercial construction. He is a former president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Chattanooga, where he now serves on the Board of Directors and the Political Action Committee. His favorite past times are spending time with his wife, tennis, traveling, fishing, hunting, and boating.

Bjorn "Hayden" Croxall

Vice President

Despite the abnormal exposure to 70s and 80s hits in his dad's truck, Hayden managed to come out relatively normal thanks largely in part to his mother, Hilde. Following his dad's lead, he married up, marrying Katy in 2016. Having grown up on job sites, he ran the opposite direction, working as a teacher straight out of college teaching English to speakers of other languages at The Howard School in Chattanooga. As the saying goes, however, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," and Hayden entered the construction realm in 2019, starting Croxall Painting. He left teaching in December 2021 to expand his company operations, starting Croxall Exteriors, a commercial roofing company, and finally coming on board to help run Croxall Residential in August 2022. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Home Builders Association of Greater Chattanooga. His favorite past times are spending time with his children, dating his wife, hiking the mountains of Norway, and anything related to sports or exercise.

Josh Gunter

Director of Operations

Josh began his construction career as a student at the University of Tennessee when he successfully purchased, renovated, and sold a home in East Knoxville. Moving back to Chattanooga upon graduation, he became a general contractor, and entered into the field of residential new construction. Over the last 15 years, he’s been a part of many small-to-large scale renovation projects, custom builds, and has held several project management roles. He maintains a general contractor’s license, and enjoys staying up-to-date on the latest advances in building science. Josh loves spending time with his wife, Summer, daughter, Ava Ruth, and family dog, Nala. His interests are the great outdoors, strength training, theology, philosophy, and spiritual formation.

Gavin Chambers

Project Manager

Gavin grew up on the outskirts of Chattanooga and took pride as a little boy in watching his grandfather and father excel in constructing control houses for large industrial plants. This same pride later turned into a career pathway as he attended The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, graduating with a degree in Construction Management. Gavin started out framing houses, gaining important hands-on experience, prior to entering the field as a project manager, where he worked for a year and a half before coming on board at Croxall Residential. He enjoys every aspect of the construction industry from the daily building process to end product of watching families enjoy their new homes. Gavin hit the jackpot in 2022 when marrying his gorgeous wife after years of dating. He enjoys spending time with his wife, hunting, fishing, and working on DIY projects.
