I was born into real estate. My grandmother, Ethel Rogers, became a broker and opened her first office in 1972, the same year I was born, and I have been surrounded by it and loved it every second since. I grew up in the Houston area and became passionate about helping the community develop and grow.

Real estate is what I do; I am hooked on constantly gaining more knowledge about the industry to help my clients best. When I'm not coming up with new innovative ways to market our resources or training members of the John Rogers Home Ownership Team, I am out and about attending conferences and events to gain more information and contribute ideas on the business systems for real estate teams.

As for hobbies, as I said before, I do real estatehowever, I do devote every weekend available to my family. I'm also into Houston Sports, big boats, and ATVs when I have the time.

I love working with the John Rogers Home Ownership Team because it is a great group of people who are not afraid to think outside of the box while still maintaining the enthusiasm and perseverance that is necessary in the real estate business.
