Our History

Since its incorporation as a real estate development firm by E. Hoover Taft, Jr., Taft Family Ventures (TFV) has grown under the leadership of former N.C. State Sen. Thomas F. Taft, Sr. After taking the reins in 1988, Tom evolved and expanded the business. The first major catalyst were Frankie Cash-Langley and Mike McCarty joining the enterprise as Chief Financial Officer and Director of Development respectively, with each bringing a unique skill-set of financial and development talents and potential. Then in 2008 and 2016 respectively, Tom’s sons Thomas F. Taft, Jr. and Jonathan G. Taft joined the family business, making TFV a third-generation family-owned enterprise built around a growing team of talented colleagues and professionals.
