David Fluharty

David Fluharty is the General Manager of Husk’s Charleston outpost, where he oversees the restaurant’s operations and empowers the staff to deliver excellent hospitality. While growing up on the coast in Rehoboth Beach, DE, Fluharty became interested in the world of restaurants after working summers in the resort beach town. He found inspiration from the late Matt Haley, a James Beard Humanitarian Award winner, and began working at Haley’s flagship restaurant, Bluecoast, in 2012 where Fluharty was able to refine his skills and gain experience in the industry. After working for several other restaurants for SoDel Concepts, Fluharty moved to Charleston, SC, and joined The Neighborhood Dining Group at McCrady’s Tavern in 2018. Fluharty continued his journey with his NDG family, moving on to showcase his passion for unique bar programming as a bartender at Delaney Oyster House during its 2019 opening. He later moved into an Assistant General Manager role at Delaney for several years before moving down the peninsula to join the Husk team.

Promoted to General Manager in 2024, David Fluharty aims to continue growing with what he considers a team of true professionals. Fluharty bases his leadership style on accountability, respect, and integrity, always striving to create a positive environment to nurture the talent on his team. As a leader, Fluharty guides staff to work towards one common goal of delivering the best service possible and understands the importance of taking a hands-on approach while staying present.

While he’s not at Husk, you can find him rooting for his alma mater, University of Tennessee, and Philadelphia sports teams, alongside his wife, Jenny, and bluetick coonhound, Django.
