I have been a property manager with ALPS since 2005; a native Austinite and alumnus of The University of Texas at Austin earning a BA in economics in 2007. I am dedicated to providing excellent client and customer service. I seek education from the National Association of Residential Property Managers and network with colleagues for new ideas. When not involved in my Director of Property Management duties, I enjoy being with my daughter and friends, taking advantage of the many wonderful things to do in cental Texas and working on my home. Thank you to all my clients and residents for the opportunity to work with you.

I joined the ALPS staff in 2007. I earned a B.A. in Jazz Composition as well as a M.M. in Jazz Theory from the University of Texas in Austin. Before entering the real estate world three years ago, I had over 20 years of various management experience in retail sales, software operations and development, local government division head, as well as full time ministry as a worship director. Attention to details as well as compassion in dealing personally with clients brings a unique strength for property management. By persistently pursuing a Win-Win outcome for owners and tenants, a proven track record of success as a property manager has been created that builds on relationships with property owners. I have been married to my one and only wife, Carole, since 1983 and now take pleasure in the joy of our grandson being an integral part of our lives.

I have been with ALPS since October of 2002. I became a licensed real estate agent and REALTOR® in May of 2011 and currently manage a property management portfolio. My other duties include assisting the Director and Assistant Director of Property Management with their duties. I enjoy working with our clients as well as ensuring tenants’ satisfaction with their home. My hobbies include: football, baseball, music, guitar, and sketching.

I joined the ALPS team August 24, 2010. My title is Assistant Property Manager/Accounts Coordinator. I have had over 15 years experience in property management. I assist the Director of Property Manager in the oversite of one of the client portfolios. I am also responsible for the posting of rents, coordinating accounts payable and receivable and system administration. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and attending my son's sports and school activities. I also enjoy cooking, baking, sports and anything outdoors.

I also scan and enter leases, applications, and other documents for file retention purposes, as well as collecting, distributing and logging of rent checks, mail, keys, work orders, and invoices. In 2011 I earned my sales license in real estate and hope to utilize this new knowledge in better serving the ALPS team and our clients and residents. In my spare time I enjoy going to music concerts, scrapbooking, spending time with my friends and family and always finding new things to do.
