Doug Kingma earned a B.S. Architecture degree from the University of Virginia and entered the building business immediately after college. His background includes working for both small and large builders in Northern Virginia before moving to California, the birthplace of Kingma Developers. In 1991, Doug, his wife Debbie and their two children returned to Virginia, convinced that “Charlottesville was the best place” for his children to grow up. Kingma Developers has been busy building extraordinary homes ever since.

Since moving to Charlottesville, Doug has twice served as President of the Blue Ridge Home Builders Association and on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Home Builders. Doug has also chaired the Green Building Committee at the local association level and helped adopt the EarthCraft House program as the standard of excellence for healthy homes and green building techniques in the state of Virginia.
