OUR TEAM
Tim Woodard
CEO & Cofounder of The MCR Group
Tim Woodard is a third-generation contractor with roots going back to working in the cabinet shop with his grandfather in south Mississippi. While working with his dad as a teen, he learned every skill from forming a foundation to putting on the gutters, gaining expertise in each area. He worked in the Washington, D.C. vicinity for 5 years before returning to Mississippi where he started his own company. Tim and his family moved to Nashville in 1999 and not too long after that, he met his future business partner, Richard Jones. They became close friends, and started The MCR Group. In 2013, after the passing of his dear friend, Tim’s desire to leave a legacy for Richard became paramount.
Tim loves traveling with his wife, Janie & their family. His favorite hobbies include gardening and spoiling his grandchildren. He and Janie enjoy their small group and church gatherings. He also hopes to take up golf again soon!

He joined the MCR family in 2004, not only shifting his focus to The MCR Group, but giving MCR the advantage of his expertise in the historical restoration division.

Hope started in construction in 2005, growing in knowledge from the office to field experience. It was there she found a passion to manage projects from planning to completion. She became interested in design, as she loves learning how to solve the problems and surprises in the process of construction. Her focus is building a relationship of trust and open communication with her clients, and keeping them informed and educated during the entire process.

Duane Dowell
GeneralSuperintendent
Well first of all they say if Duane can’t do it, It can’t be done! We at The MCR Group have found that to be true. When you ask him how long he has worked in this industry, he would say since before he was even born. Duane truly is a hard working man. He puts his all into his work, and has many talents in the vast span of construction. He has worked at The MCR Group since 2014, and has been willing to do whatever is needed to get the job done. Duane has lived in the Nashville area since junior high. He finds riding cross-country on a Harley Davison very exhilarating. He likes to write songs, but his main hobby is to fall asleep in his chair in front of the TV, especially after a hard day’s work (which is surely often).
Jonathan Grant

Jonathan Grant is married with 3 children and has lived in Nashville his entire life. He began working in construction in 2005 for a home remodeling company. He has been a wonderful addition to The MCR Group since 2019. Jonathan takes his superintendent position seriously, seeing to the details that must be done. He has the gift of getting things done, which makes him such a great asset for MCR.Jonathan and his wife Tracey are involved in Karate and traveling to tournaments as a family. They also are children's pastors and enjoy traveling to Haiti for mission trips.

Josiah Meadows

Richard Jones 1950-2013
Cofounder of The MCR Group
In loving memory of our friend, Richard Jones, we would love to tell you a little more about him. Richard was born and raised in Burwood, Tennessee, where he and his wife Vickie raised their children, David and Amy.
Graduating from High School in 1968, Richard followed his 2 older brothers in construction as apprentice in the plaster trade. Working in Nashville, one of the artistic molding works Richard accomplished was at historical Cheekwood. He was one of the first in the area to learn of the EIFS systems, and later on, started Titan Plastering.
Richard enjoyed golf, coaching youth baseball and was, of course, a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans. He also loved his church and participated in many ways. He was involved in mission trips and teaching Sunday School.
We will never forget Richard Jones and his great part in this company. His legacy lives on as we are forever in his debt. We will leave this as the last word of advice he gave to Tim, “Pray without ceasing!”
