JT McCraw began working when he was just nine years old. In those days, he picked up scraps for his dad who was a professional tradesman and small business owner. Years later, JT would rise to become one of Nashville’s premier upscale custom home builders.  His clients ranged from executives to professional athletes to entertainment stars.  As a third-generation construction professional, JT built his reputation on his innate ability to collaborate with architects, engineers and designers and produce stunning high-quality products. He was also known as an industry leader who could transform complex issues into simple, innovative solutions.     

Though JT was externally successful in those years, his personal life was slowly eroding and eventually collapsed.  It was then he began painstakingly learning the valuable lessons of noble manhood. He then underwent his own personal “manhood renovation.”   

 

Today, JT is the founder of the BE MEN Movement and is one of the leading men’s ministers in the United States. He has traveled around the globe teaching men what he learned during his dark days of personal crisis.  He also demonstrates how to build high quality noble manhood into the lives of men by drawing from his years as a successful builder.  He's also in process of becoming a certified speaker, trainer and coach with the John Maxwell Team. 

JT has been married to Shelley for twenty-six years and has five children. He spends his spare time doing projects around his home, riding motorcycles, hunting, and continuing his ongoing search for the best brisket in the nation.
