I am a licensed Texas Realtor with experience in residential sales, income-generating and investment properties. As a native Houstonian, I specialize in properties in near Northwest Houston from the Heights, Timbergrove, Oak Forest and Spring Branch, as well as country homes and land in Fayette County, less than 90 minutes from Metro Houston.
My life experiences include a career in sales and marketing that has transcended 37 years, first as an administrator at several major universities, at the Southwest Conference, at two of the largest sports marketing companies in the US, as a private media consultant and then as Executive Director or CEO of two major sports 501(c)(3)non-profit organizations.
This has taken me from Houston to West Texas, to Dallas, to San Francisco, to New York, to Houston, to Durango, to Houston, to New Mexico, back to Houston, to West Texas and finally back to Houston. So I am genuinely experienced at helping you consider and plan all facets of relocation.
I have also had the opportunity to work in all areas of the media...writing, internet, radio and television broadcasting, sales, marketing, promotions and public relations...so I am highly involved with the cutting edge of new and emerging technology that can help you find, or market and sell, your special property!
I married my wife Brenda (after having one date our senior year in HS) meeting again at our 30th high school reunion. We have a son, Michael, who was a valedictorian at Memorial HS and is a Special Honors candidate in the Plan II Honors College at the University of Texas.
Some of my career highlights include working events like the MLB World Series and All Star games, NFL Super Bowl, the NCAA Final Four, the BCS National Championship Football Game, the College World Series and all the top Bowl Games; serving as the Executive Director of the Greater Houston Sports Association, working for projects like Texas Football Magazine and the Southwest Conference Radio Network, HSE/Prime Network (now Fox-Southwest and the Fox Sports Networks) where I worked with the man who actually invented cable TV (Bill Daniels); and meeting, working with, and interviewing interesting characters and legends like Bum Phillips, Hank Aaron, Dave Winfield, Willie McCovey, Darrell Royal, Bobby Layne, Sammy Baugh, Lindsey Nelson, Howard Cosell, Al Michaels, Barry Switzer, Frank Kush and Jim Wacker, just to name a few.
In 2004, I helped establish the College Baseball Foundation in Lubbock and then created the first-ever College Baseball Hall of Fame. Serving as Chairman/CEO for the first 3 1/2 years, we elected and installed the intial Hall of Fame Class in 2006, ten of the most legendary figures in the sport...including Skip Bertman, Cliff Gustafson, Robin Ventura, Ron Frazier, Dave Winfield, Rod Dedeaux, Bobby Winkles, Brooks Kieschnick, Will Clark and Bob Horner.
I have always tried to keep involved in the fun stuff, too, working as a network play-by-play broadcaster of NCAA sports...doing football and baseball. I was proud to call the first-ever college football game played at Reliant Stadium, the College World Series and enjoyed a stint doing a daily radio sports-talk show in the Western US.
