Meet the team!
Dan Hinst - founder/craftsman
Dan’s resume consists primarily of missions work and ministry positions, but construction has played a large role in his life since he was in high school in the early 1990’s… It all started by building skate ramps.
Since moving to Nashville in 2013, construction has become his primary vocation and avenue for his passion for ministry. A-List LLC has allowed Dan, and in the last few years, his older children and son-in-law, to gain experience and demonstrate skills in a variety of construction specialties.
His combined construction experience includes leading large teams of volunteers, vast multi trades experience, ground up builds, large scale renovations, commercial build outs, church additions & remodels, disaster response & recovery, facility management, production for HGTV, and real estate acquisition.
His attention to detail and customer care is evident as he serves the clients that choose A-List. He aims to serve the commercial, faith, and residential community with their construction needs through hard work and by building relationships. In his own words, he is “just a guy who is doing his best to be a loving husband and father, and to make the most out of each day.” His free time activities are shaped by his passions for the outdoors, woodworking, coffee, and music. Here he is pictured with his wife and three kids!
Gibson Littleton - Superintendent
Gibson is a rare Nashville native, he’s gotten to grow up with the city. It is no surprise then, that his passion is for music. He takes every opportunity to exercise his skills in audio engineering and drumming. He has worked for A-List since the fall of 2024. Despite having little formal construction experience, Gibson has a knack for building things and a hunger to learn. Dan has taken him under his wing to pass on valuable wisdom and train him in a variety of management and home renovation avenues.
Kendall Hinst Littleton - Project Manager/Administration
Kendall, as you may notice from her last name, is the link between Dan and Gibson. She is Dan’s oldest child and Gibson’s wife. Growing up around Dan’s craftsmanship and intuition to innovate, she inherited his love to create. Her expertise is on a smaller scale, involving clay and paper, but she is always eager to “play” with the tools and equipment Dan gets for the workshop. She has been working in administration for a few years and joined the team at A-List at the beginning of 2025. Dan is helping her learn new things and grow in the skills needed for the management side of the business.
Who we are…
We have two main goals in this business.
The first is quality. Our goal is to provide top notch craftsmanship and work. We do this by utilizing our in-house team’s skills and by working with subcontractors who are the best at their craft; from the product they produce, to the way they conduct themselves. In addition to leaving behind a great product, it is crucial to us that everyone we bring into your home treats it with the utmost care and respect.
The other is to be ethically sound. Our team is in this business to make your home renovation dreams a reality. We believe that a critical part of that is creating the best experience possible. That involves constant communication, complete transparency, and an attitude that prioritizes people over profit. After all, out of everything we build, the most impactful thing is a genuine, lasting relationship with a client.
