Community Sales Counselor First Texas Homes/Frisco firsttexashomes.com/communities
Where are you from? I grew up in Dallas and went to Dallas Skyline High School and then off to University of North Texas. How did you end up in real estate? After school, I spent some time in commercial real estate and then in residential real estate with RE/MAX. From REALTOR to New Home Sales... I was asked to cover a model home four days a week in Keller. I lived in Richardson at the time and was still with RE/MAX. I looked at the opportunity to be in a model home as, ‘Once I arrive at the model I did not have to go all over the metroplex showing homes. Prospects came to me!’ I sold four homes the first week and I have been a New Home Sales Consultant ever since - 25 years. One thing most people wouldn’t know about me... I have been working since I was 14 years old. I wanted a Yamaha motorcycle to ride with my friends in my neighborhood and race on the weekends. My Mom told me I could have one if I could bought it. I started bagging groceries the next day! I made enough money to buy my motorcycle and I was off to the races (literally!). Why I do what I do... I have a beautiful wife of 18 years, Serena. We have 2 boys, Jett and Tristan, and one girl, Sydney. We enjoy going to the lake, snow skiing in the winter, going to sporting events and concerts. I am blessed beyond my imagination to have such a caring, loving family that supports me and the hectic schedule that comes with our industry. Our QUALITY custom homes are the key to our success. With 45 years of experience, a major element to our success is offering home buyers in-house architectural design, custom designs and phenomenal value.

Where are you from? I was living in Washington State and I had a sister who lived in Dallas. She kept trying to get me to Texas, but I would not come until the economy died in Washington State. I moved and got a job with a commercial plumbing company. My sister was selling for Fox and Jacobs and she was living a very good life style. I was running a 30 man crew and had more troubles than you can imagine. She took me under her wing and let me train with her in the evenings and weekends. I was eventually hired for Valley Ranch selling patio homes. That was 35 years ago. I have never wanted to leave this job, and if frustrated, I think back on what work can be. Advice for someone starting in real estate... When I was hired at Fox and Jacobs I was not going to waste that opportunity. I enrolled in Tom Hopkins Training and went to night school for 3 months and then went back the next year and did it again. His training was what set the stage for my career, and I have become a Student of Learning because of it. It has served me well. Bucket list... I have climbed Mount Rainier and the Grand Tetons and have gone on 10 day long trips in a number of mountains out west climbing many peaks and fly fishing remote lakes. I have been doing this so long... that I have sold multiple customers twice. What state are you seeing the most buyers having moved from? California and they are not always sure about Texas, but they are easy to sell and love the pricing and size of home they get for the money.
Our QUALITY custom homes are the key to our success. With 45 years of experience, a major element to our success is offering home buyers in-house architectural design, custom designs and phenomenal value.
