I joined the Business Group as an Associate in September 2007 after clerking in the summer of 2006. Since joining the firm I have been involved in a variety of real estate and corporate transactions including:
- representation of a large residential developer in the sale of approximately 45 acres for retail development at the intersection of Grand Parkway and Westpark Tollway; and
- representation of a water desalination development company in the reorganization of its corporate structure, including a $250 million capital infusion by international equity investors.
My interest in property issues began in college while working for the House of Representatives where I researched public-private partnership investment for the renovation of underutilized Federal buildings. During law school I researched and worked on the development of commercial and residential projects in tax-increment finance zones.
I am a fourth-generation Texan and have lived all over the state, but I am excited to be back in Houston where I spent the majority of my childhood. When not in the office, I enjoy playing golf and wallowing in the misery that is supporting Baylor athletic teams.
