People

Wayne Leighton
Principal, Director of Operations
Originally from Bryn Mawr, Wayne Leighton comes from a large extended family with historic roots in the area. With Pohlig since 1998, he has been instrumental in the valuation and appraisal of residential subdivisions for some of the area’s largest lenders and the acquisition and development of award-winning residential projects in the Main Line. He also manages the day-to-day operations of the company, including planning, approvals, permitting, and marketing. Currently, Wayne is working towards a new wave of smaller, single-family developments with a focus on highly custom-designed homes by renowned architects in the region.
Wayne is a graduate of Villanova University with a BSCE in Civil Engineering and holds an MBA in Finance from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His background and his familiarity with Main Line area townships bring a unique perspective on the development of high-end residential ground. Deeply concerned about how townships grow and evolve, Wayne is invested in producing communities that benefit the homeowners as well as the towns where they are located. He has served on the Radnor Township Planning Commission, the Shade Tree Commission, and Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee and Implementation Committees.
A good-natured father of four, Wayne enjoys spending time with his family, grooming his kids to follow in his footsteps, and can be spotted on a basketball court now and then.

Chris Bergh
Principal, Custom Home Sales & Production
Chris Bergh graciously and energetically manages all aspects of Pohlig’s building process. He is the common link of communication between clients, design professionals, and trade contractors from the beginning of a project, during implementation, and long after a project is completed. With an eye to the long-term, Chris finesses the construction systems, financial reporting, and client management processes that are at the heart of Pohlig.
Berwyn, Pennsylvania born and raised—with a legacy of engineers and architects in the family—Chris has worked with Pohlig since he was a sophomore in college when he interned as a field laborer during the summer. Originally planning to pursue a degree in industrial design at The Ohio State University, he changed his major to Construction Systems Management and was hired to the Estimating & Project Management team after his 2005 graduation. Ever since, Chris has managed Pohlig’s increasing custom home portfolio and values getting to know Pohlig’s clients and the incredible houses he’s had a hand in creating. An inveterate student of the construction and design industry, Chris is an active member of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art.
Chris is a Philly sports fan, loves golf and spending time with his wife, Ashley, his son, Charlie, and their golden mix Reggie.

Don Pohlig
Co-Founder, Principal
Don Pohlig has been passionate about residential construction his entire life. At Pohlig he manages the daily operation of the business, oversees product design, sales, purchasing, construction and warranty services. On a personal level, Don works directly with every client from contract signing until long after moving day. He delights in the myriad aspects of the building process and the relationships that bring about unique and wonderful places to live.
A native of Drexel Hill, Don is a Business Management graduate from Delaware County Community College. He was in a hurry so by the age of 21, he was operating a successful framing business in the historic region where he grew up. After joining forces with his brother Todd to create Pohlig, the company’s work continues to be nearly exclusive to the Main Line and its bucolic environs. As he says, “In 44 years, we haven’t looked back. We get to work with the best in the business and create beautiful homes.” In addition to Don’s extensive construction knowledge and his warm client relations, he leads the company’s technology advances, developing Pohlig’s programs and systems to meet the changing needs of homeowners. He speaks frequently on the value of technology in residential construction and is active with the National Home Builders Association’s Builder Twenty Group and the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA).
When not building homes, Don enjoys playing golf, sailing and oil painting.

Todd Pohlig
Co-Founder, Principal
With an eye to the future, Todd Pohlig guides the company through fluctuating markets, positioning the business for tomorrow’s opportunities. Fostering a unique company culture has amassed the area’s top talent into an all-star team of dedicated individuals. From the outset, building long-standing relationships under Todd’s steady hand has earned Pohlig accolades as a leading custom homebuilder on the Main Line. A Civil Engineer with a business bent, Todd is a graduate of Villanova University. After serving in the military, Todd started Pohlig with his brother Don and says, “We had incredible support and mentors when we started out. Our success continues today because of others. I really enjoy paying forward—personally and professionally—to the home building industry.” To that end, Todd is involved at the local and state levels concerning the environmental aspects of home site development and redevelopment. He participates on the Villanova University Entrepreneurial Advisory Board and guest lectures as an alum (BSCE ’72). He has been the president of both the Main Line Building Association and the Home Builders Association of Chester and Delaware County. He remains an active member of both as well as the Pennsylvania Builder Association. Todd also serves on the Chester County Economic Development Council, Chester County Public Safety Training Facility and Easttown Municipal Authority. On the weekends, Todd performs as a drummer with his classic rock band, Blue Sky.
