Andrew M. Odom is one of the newest additions to the River Landing team, joining us as the Custom Home Program Manager. From Magnolia, NC, Andrew brings a special interest to his position. Says Odom, “North Carolina is rich in housing history. The architecture throughout the state is as varied as its residents, and is influenced by the industries, geography, and climate that have helped shape the State’s social and economic climates. From the European influence of the 17th century to the Modernist home in the Triangle, the state is house rich!”
Over the past 20 years, Odom has had the great fortune of turning passion into business on several fronts. He has at one point or another been involved with photo production, content editing, photojournalism, corporate and private blogging, community management, project management, video creation and editing, social media managing, and traditional advertising, as well as online marketing. “Basically, I have spent the last 20 years learning to communicate and then helping those around me do the same.”
