​My Story: Forged in Fire,

Guided by Heart

My identity was forged in fire. I navigated a childhood defined by unpredictable rage and financial chaos, which led me to leave home and seek self-reliance at 14. With raw determination, I started life over in Houston at 19 with nothing, transitioning from homelessness and odd jobs to working for Fortune 100 firms before pivoting into my Real Estate career. Eventually becoming an entrepreneur, owning the only type of service business in North DFW. 

I built my early life on sheer tenacity, but my true character was built on heart. Through the daily challenges of raising a son with Autism, integrating into new communities repeatedly, and the ultimate act of love—taking in three children after their parents passed from cancer—I have found that life's greatest value is rooted in an unbreakable spirit and radical compassion.

My 32-year+ and counting marriage, my journey proves that true actualization is the product of experience and education. Tenacity defines the way to live, but when heart gets involved, that's when it gets good.
