Meet the Team
David Banker
David grew up in a construction family. From a very young age, he was going to work with his dad on Saturdays learning the trades and seeing how everything was put together. When school was out, he spent his summers at his grandfather's property in the hills of East Tennessee, where his engineer grandfather taught him the concepts of loads, cantilevers, and foundation structure.David took over the management of the family business in his early 20s and after several years of healthy growth, in 2006 he left the family business and established Principle Homes as a custom remodel company. In 2018 David began working in the field of green building concepts and working to further his knowledge in the area of moisture, harmful fungus prevention, and nontoxic building practices. David has a unique knowledge and appreciation for healthy homes. He enjoys problem-solving and working with clients to meet the unique needs of those who require special attention as it relates to breathing challenges and healthy environments.
Being loyal by nature, David enjoys defending the interest of his clients by utilizing his knowledge and experience in the field of best building practices. He can be trusted to make responsible and practical choices, to honor commitments to people and plans, to protect and care for others, to recognize and think about all possibilities and perspectives, and to be reliable with any needs when it comes to making a dream project come true.
David resides in Franklin with his wife and four children who are most important to him. He loves his people well and works hard, and he gives every project his very best no matter the size because he believes in what he does.
Kaylee Pauley
As a child, many of Kaylee’s core memories are set with the backdrop of the great outdoors. Growing up at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico, before moving to the hills of Tennessee, her family spent many weekends hiking, camping, and taking in the beauty of wild flowers and roaring waterfalls.
In many ways, it was these experiences that shaped and influenced her love for capturing and creating beautiful spaces, layered with texture and natural elements.
Kaylee firmly feels that our surroundings have a way of influencing our feelings, they evoke emotion within us. The places we reside tell our story and lay the backdrop for the memories we create and treasure. It is this belief that inspires and excites Kaylee with each new client and project. Getting to know the homeowner, to witness a bit of their journey, along with how they live, is what influences each and every design decision, to create homes that intentionally reflect the people experiencing life inside.
After graduating with her Interior Design degree in 2009, Kaylee had the opportunity to join the design team at a high-end residential design firm in the Green Hills area. Over the next several years, she gained a wealth of experience, learning the ins and outs of working with homeowners, architects, builders, vendors and suppliers. While the creative element and vision casting ignites life inside her, the intricate details required to execute a space, along with the opportunity to build a relationship and collaborate with the clients, vendors, and fellow team members is what gives depth and fulfillment to each and every day.
Kaylee has made a beautiful home in Franklin with her husband and two kids where you can find a mixture of both antiques and modern pieces, carefully collected over the years.
