  FHBA Area VII Vice President Bruce Malasky of Malasky Homes in West Palm Beach knows how to take the bull by the horns.
  
  "Bruce is very good at quickly understanding issues and the challenges they present and he works hard to find solutions," says Jon Rappaport of Ecclestone Signature Homes, member of the Gold Coast Builders Association (GCBA) and a past FHBA Builder Director.
  ...
  Malasky served as the GCBA's President in 2004 and he took that role seriously because of his deeply-rooted belief that associations "carry the faith for builders."
  
  At FHBA, he serves on the Area Vice Presidents Council, Executive Committee, Governmental Affairs Committee, Industry Issues Committee, and Legal Action Committee.
  
  "It's good to know that what happens in our area occurs all over the state," says Malasky, who has made many state contacts through FHBA.
  ...
  Obtaining land in Palm Beach County is difficult because of the dominance of national companies but Malasky has carved his niche as a successful spec builder.
  
  "Our homes are 99 percent finished before we start marketing a property for sale," says Malasky."We buy old houses on a great piece of real estate, demolish the old house and then design and build a new home as if it were our own."
  
  As an ultra high-end custom spec home builder, Malasky usually purchases dramatic, direct ocean-front or intercoastal land that can accommodate yachts."Coming across the right parcel of land and being able to purchase it is key," says Malasky."My philosophy is location, location, location."
  
  He applies this business outlook on family life as well, taking his family to exotic places around the world.Malasky, his wife Ellen, and sons Teddy and Hunter have visited Austria, Switzerland, Thailand, Spain, Hong Kong, Italy, London, and Paris.Malasky is also an avid snow skier and frequents Park City, Utah numerous times throughout the year.
  
  The Malaskys were in Phuket, Thailand on December 26, 2004 the day the tsunami hit."The people seemed very uneasy," says Malasky.
  ...
  That close call averted, Malasky returned to a life devoted to the loves of his life: his family and the building industry.
