Founder & CEO - SRH Companies

Commercial Real Estate Developer | Investor | Entrepreneur

Real Assets, Operating Businesses, Long Term Value

Founder and CEO of SRH Companies, a diversified investment and operating platform built on the belief that enduring wealth is created through disciplined ownership of quality assets, exceptional operating businesses, and long-term relationships. With more than twenty-five years of experience as a commercial real estate developer, investor, and licensed real estate broker in Texas and Missouri, I have dedicated my career to identifying opportunities where thoughtful strategy, disciplined execution, and integrity create lasting value.

A Foundation Built on Experience

After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Finance followed by an MBA, I began my career in commercial real estate development where I gained experience in acquisitions, brokerage, underwriting, leasing, development, construction management, capital planning, and asset repositioning. That experience continues to shape my leadership today by combining financial discipline with practical, boots-on-the-ground execution.

The SRH Philosophy

I believe the strongest companies are built through patience rather than speed, disciplined investment rather than speculation, and long-term ownership rather than short-term transactions. Every opportunity is evaluated through the same lens: understand the risk, protect capital, create operational excellence, and build businesses that continue creating value for decades.

The SRH Family of Companies

SRH Companies serves as the parent organization for a growing family of complementary businesses, each designed to strengthen the others while operating with a common philosophy of integrity, accountability, and long-term value creation.

SRH Commercial Services

A full-service commercial real estate development, construction, brokerage, and investment company specializing in retail, office, land development, build-to-suit projects, and redevelopment throughout Texas and surrounding markets.

SRH Holdings

The long-term investment platform focused on acquiring and managing income-producing hard assets, including oil and gas interests and other investments designed to generate dependable cash flow while preserving capital.

SRH Private Equity

A private investment platform formed to partner with investors, entrepreneurs, and operating businesses where strategic capital, operational expertise, and disciplined execution create exceptional long-term opportunities.

Leadership Philosophy

I believe leadership begins with serving others, building exceptional teams, and creating an environment where people are empowered to grow. My goal is not simply to build successful projects, but to build organizations where employees, investors, partners, tenants, and communities all benefit from long-term success.

Looking Forward

Today, I am focused on building SRH Companies into a diversified family of businesses spanning commercial real estate, private investments, energy assets, hospitality, and future operating companies. My vision is to create organizations that outlast the founder, companies known for integrity, disciplined execution, innovation, and meaningful contributions to the communities they serve.

Core Values

Integrity above all else.
Relationships built on trust and accountability.
Disciplined decision-making backed by thoughtful analysis.
Long-term ownership over short-term gains.
Operational excellence in every business.
Creating opportunities that strengthen employees, partners, investors, and communities.

Personal Mission

My mission is simple: build exceptional companies, invest alongside exceptional people, and leave every business, investment, and community stronger than I found it. Success is measured not only by financial performance, but by the opportunities created, the relationships built, and the legacy left for future generations.
