MEET THE TEAM

Charles has been with McLain’s since it began in 1999 and has been in the painting industry for over 30 years. One of the things that he loves most about working at McLain’s is being able to make the customers happy, through finding out what is important to them and meeting their expectations. Charles has been married to the Love of his Life, Sarah, for over 25 years and they have had three boys, Grant, Braeden, and Jaxson. Some of Charles' hobbies are spending time with his family and watching sports, (Go Cubs!) 

Matt has been with McLain’s since March 2021, but has been in or around the industry for most of his life after proudly graduating from UT Knoxville. He is passionate about mentoring, leading, and community involvment. He helps out with various organizations in the area through charity work, and strives to inspire those around him to be better. He loves working at McLain’s because of the family culture that the company promotes, an amazing leadership team, and being a Christ driven organization. Matt and his amazing wife, Sasha, have 3 children; Ashton, Payton, and Adalyn. He really enjoys traveling with his family, golfing, being a travel baseball coach, cheer & cross-country dad, anything having to do with UT Sports (Go Vols), and cooking for family and friends on his Traeger as he and his wife are both foodies who love eating and trying new places.

Melissa is new to both McLain’s and the painting industry, but she brings over 25 years of experience in office management. She’s drawn to the strong sense of family, the positive employee morale, and the generous ways McLain’s gives back to the community.

Melissa has been married to her husband, Lance, for 20 years. They have a son, Rylan, and two energetic dogs, Apollo and Sterling. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling and discovering new experiences with her family.

Grant has spent several years developing his skills in the painting industry, starting with hands-on experience in the painting field before transitioning into an office role for two years. He now serves as a Field Supervisor in training, where he bridges communication between customers and crews, ensuring each project upholds quality and professionalism.

In 2024, Grant spent eight months serving with the 10th Hour Project, a discipleship and missions ministry that shaped his perspective on life. During this time, he received biblical training in New Mexico, traveled the West Coast sharing the gospel in local cities and churches and he also lived in Uganda for three months, working with elementary and high school students, sharing the love of Jesus with them — an experience that fueled his passion for service and cross-cultural ministry.

Outside of work, Grant enjoys playing recreational sports like pickleball, spike ball, and ultimate frisbee with friends. He is actively involved in his local church, particularly in the children’s ministry. Grant says he is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and his ultimate goal is not to make himself known by what he does, but that the world would come to know Jesus — the One who graciously works through him for His will and glory.



Levi has been with McLain’s since January of 2022, but has been in the construction industry for much longer. Some of the reasons he loves working at McLain’s is the culture and values. He loves working with coworkers who take pride in their work, want to be there, and are committed to honesty and integrity. He has been married to his amazing wife, Melinda, for 8 years. They have three girls: Jubilee, Harmony, and Selah. In his spare time he enjoys hanging out with family, outdoor activities, and DIY projects.

Danny joined the McLain’s Painting team in April of 2024. While Danny is new to the painting industry, he has 13 years of experience in customer service and sales. During that time, he worked closely with local contractors as a Licensed Commercial Insurance Agent. In that role he was able to see the value in working with business owners who are willing to put their name on the door. Danny and his wonderful wife Lauren have been married for 13 years and have an amazing (and sometimes wild) daughter named Lily. In their spare time they enjoy camping, traveling, and enjoying time with friends and family. 

I’ve been with McLain's Painting since 2025, and I can confidently say it’s the best job I’ve ever had—largely thanks to the incredible team I get to work with every day. Outside of work, I’ve been married for 20 years and have a son. I’m also a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and actively compete in tournaments across the country. 

Donny joined McLain’s in March of 2025, bringing 20 years of industry experience with him. He appreciates the strong family values at McLain’s and respects Charles as an owner—tough but fair, and always committed to the team.

Donny and his wife, Nicole, have been married for nearly ten years. They have two daughters, Shiloh and Shania, along with a lively household that includes two dogs, two cats, and nine chickens. In his free time, Donny enjoys being with his family, working around the house and yard, and spending time in God’s beautiful creation.

Lucas has been with McLain’s since 2014 and has been in the industry for 19+ years. One of the things that he loves about working for McLain’s is that we have a loyal customer base that keeps us working year-round. He has 2 cats that he calls family: Mia and Minzo. Lucas has many different hobbies that he enjoys, especially kayaking, biking, going to music concerts, and traveling.

I've been with McLain's Painting since 2025, bringing over 12 years of experience in the painting industry. I take pride in working for a company that upholds such high standards. Charles is an outstanding leader, and Matt has been a great mentor to me. What I value most is that McLain's understands the importance of family.

My wife, Brittany, and I have been together for six years. We have five wonderful children—Harper, Zola, Hadley, Oliver, and Willow—and we're excited to welcome our newest addition, Wren, very soon. Our family also includes a lively bunch of animals: two dogs, one cat, nine chickens, eighteen quail, two goats, and a pig.



In my free time, I enjoy outdoor adventures with my family, including kayaking, hiking, rafting, and rock climbing. We also spend a lot of time caring for our homestead. Life is full—and I feel incredibly blessed.

Jason has been with McLain's since November 2022 but has been in or around the construction industry on both the commercial and residential sides for the last 25 years. Jason is a very proud father of 3 children; Hannah, Haley, and Hayden and enjoys spending time with them. His hobbies these days include travel baseball, camping, and anything outdoors.

I’ve been with McLain’s Painting since 2021, starting as an apprentice and working my way up to crew leader through hard work and dedication. One of the things I appreciate most is the strong family atmosphere—it truly makes the job rewarding.

Outside of work, I’ve been with my boyfriend for eight years. My world revolves around my pitbull, Axel, and my younger sister, Lyra Jane. On my days off, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, camping, kayaking, and working on my house and garden.
