Century 21 Exclusive Properties SRES Certified Appraiser Texas Southern University I grew up in the real estate industry. My grandfather was a carpenter. My father was a carpenter and painter, and my uncle was a realtor. The one thing I learn from each was you start with Customer Service and you end with Customer Service . You can say Customer Service in in my DNA. I have been in real estate in the greater Houston area for more that 30 years. I have listed and sold many homes. I have help areas develop rural rice farm land to thriving communities such as Katy, Pearland, Sugarland, and Missouri City are a few.

I grew up with family members living in Galveston where I spent the summers enjoying the beach and fishing.
