What is your favorite thing about being a HBA member?
- Interacting with other respected builders and associates in the industry. It’s really a great group of people who are open and honest about our daily challenges.
What is your favorite book or movie?
- Fun: Tombstone (movie)
Impact: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (book)
Favorite Out-of-Town Destination:
- Mountains in the summer
What was your first job in the Home Building Industry?
- I have been around the industry almost my whole life but my first official job was President/Owner when I jumped in with both feet in 2009 when we couldn’t give our lots away in a development we had just completed. Trial by fire!
Favorite Meal:
- I love cooking salmon or pot roast for a special occasion with family.
What do you like most about living in Louisiana?
- The family feel and deep culture. When I lived in Charlotte, NC where most everyone is a transplant, I longed for culture and connection. I really appreciate our roots around here.
What is your favorite way to unwind?
- These days I like to walk around the LSU lakes. I’m a kinetic thinker… need to be moving to process and unwind.
Tell us a little bit about your family:
- I’m fortunate to be married to Anna Katherine for over 20 years and we have 3 kids ranging from 13 to 18 and a yellow lab named Bailey.
What is the best advice you were ever given?
- I’ve asked for LOTS of advice over time and have been given some real nuggets. “Pigs get fat but hogs get slaughtered” is one that I probably use around the office most… Don’t be shy about taking your share but let’s not get greedy!
