Howdy! I'm an Arkansas transplant, a civil engineering graduate, a social extravert, a proud husband, and a father of three. I was heavily involved in Student Government and early implementation of the Vision 2020 campus master plan, expansion of student services, and the transformational changes championed by Dr. Gates. The 'soft' skills I developed at Texas A&M are just as critical as my technical education. My professional background is atypical in that I helped establish a new engineering firm immediately after college and successfully managed business operations while still an engineer-in-training. I then transitioned to a national firm and grew a practice focused on entitlement and site planning for large mixed-use and economic development projects in the Central Texas area. I accepted a new challenge and joined the D.R. Horton in 2021 where I currently coordinate with international institutional investors / land bankers and support acquisition and entitlement efforts of +15 Division offices in the South Region (TX, AZ, NM, OK, LO, AR).
