My father instilled in me a love of maps. My mother was a friend to all. My older sister was uncommonly enthusiastic about everything! I hope I have taken measures of all these qualities into my work. To me there is nothing better than driving my areas, studying interesting and challenging properties while listening to music. How can you beat that?

My career began specializing in land and lot sales, working exclusively with D/FW’s leading homebuilders and community developers.
My first such transaction was, given much good fortune, with Horton and Tomnitz, Inc. – the predecessor to D.R. Horton Custom Homes. They became my decades-long principle client. These two gentlemen taught me a lot.
