About Bill Pulte
In 1950, shortly after Pulte received his high school diploma, he and five of his pals constructed a house with five rooms near the Detroit City Airport, which they later sold for $10,000. In Detroit, Pulte received his secondary education at De La Salle Collegiate High School. He competed at the varsity level in football, track, and basketball all three years of high school.
William J. Pulte Inc. was established by him the same year, in 1956. In 1959, he developed his first residential neighborhood subdivision.
Bill Pulte, who owned 9% of the company, and his grandson, also named Bill Pulte, put pressure on Richard Dugas Jr. to resign in 2016, after Richard Dugas Jr., the former chief executive officer of the company, relocated the headquarters of the company from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan to Atlanta and started a change in direction for the company. The stock price increased after Dugas handed up his resignation.
In 1993, after going through a divorce from his first wife, he wed Karen Koppal. On March 7, 2018, Pulte passed away at the age of 85 in the comfort of his home in Naples, Florida.
