Iobtained myreal estate license in 2000. I have been a real estate broker since 2004, and owned my ownagency since that time. I currently have12 agents,two broker associates, and three locations in Lake Kiowa, Gainesville and Bowie. I was born and raised in Cooke County. I attended Callisburg schools from Kindergarten through graduation and graduated from Callisburg High School. I owned and operated a mowing service in Lake Kiowa after serving in the Marine Corps. This allowed me towork my way through college. I fell in love with Lake Kiowa while operating my mowing service. I worked in various jobs while obtaining my BBA in finance, including welding, customer service, and real estate sales as an agent. I always loved Lake Kiowa and thought it to be a great place to raise kids.I purchasedthe Century 21 franchise in Gainesville (now Premiere Real Estate)in 2004 and have sincegrown it into a top office. I built anew commercial complex in Gainesville where mycurrent Gainesville office is located. When I hadthe opportunity to buy our Kiowa complex, I jumped on it because of its location and my desire to move to Lake Kiowa and open a real estate office. We waited out the existing lease and opened Lake Kiowa Premiere Real Estate in early 2011. My wife and I have sincebought a home and moved to Kiowa full time. We have moved numerous times over the past few years, and we don't plan on moving again. We have found our home in Lake Kiowa.
