Together they assembled land for the Henry County Airport, now known as Tara Field and would later sell the airport to Clayton County . He worked closely with Thornton to acquire Atlanta Beach Sports and Entertainment Park from the Foster family in 1991. The park grew rapidly with Gad managing the day-to-day operations and eventually hosted the 1996 Olympics' Beach Volleyball Games with the support of the International Volleyball Federation and local government officials. The park was sold to Clayton County in 1995. Subsequently, they pursued industrial and master-planned developments in the City of Stockbridge. Wyngate Plantation is a large scale master planned development with its own town center, schools and amphitheatre.

The two started assembling property near the Atlanta Airport in preparation for the expansion of the facilities there. In 1998 they were successful in obtaining the necessary land, permits, entitlements and joint venture agreements to participate in the expansion of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airports fifth runway addition. The project was the largest earth moving project east of the Mississippi and with the venture being formed was the most cost effective for airport expansion. Together with the support of his wife Lynn, they successfully launched Charrette Development Group in July 2003. The real estate development company grew with Commercial, mixed use and residential development projects in Henry County and Fayette County.
