During my career I have had the opportunity to scale teams and organizations locally and across the country. This has given me an opportunity to understand the business at a much larger scale. I have also had the opportunity to launch the young professionals division for Keller Williams International. As previously stated, I have also had the opportunity to train and coach hundreds of agents. All of these have honed my leadership skills and knowledge of the complexities and intricacies of our industry. These have also reinforced that my passion lies in helping grown and develop real estate agents.
While the NAR settlement is at the forefront of most people’s minds, I believe the biggest challenge for our industry is a well rounded knowledge of business in general. Since the barrier to entry into this industry is low, we see many agents who are more of hobbyists than business owners. I think HAR has taken the first steps in offering opportunities for our members to increase their business acumen I think there are more opportunities to create what I call a “real estate business MBA” One of the most important topics agents need now centers around their finances. For years I have seen agents with high levels of production that have no money in their bank account and high debt. Offering more opportunities for them to increase their financial knowledge would be a huge win for HAR.

Over the duration of my career I have had the amazing opportunity to not only be in production but to also hire, train and coach over 400 real estate agents. A focus on production and growth of our agent has always been at the center of my world. Our company does 99% residential sales and in 2023 our 891 agents closed 5577 total units for a sales volume of $2.46 Billion with an average sales price of $441,000.

Personal and professional growth is a topic I am passionate about. As a result, I have sought out many opportunities to share the lessons I have learned with others. I have been a guest lecturer, speaker and mentor at Texas A&M in both Mays Business School and the College of Agriculture. Influencing and motivating the next generation of business leaders has been a truly rewarding experience. Locally, I have spent many hours volunteering at the Houston Food Bank. Scheduling time to volunteer is a very simple and easy process and because of that, I have been able to get friends involved and volunteering regularly.
I have been a TREPAC investor and have been a major investor multiple years.
