Q: What does your typical day look like?
A: It’s a mix of managing resources, project pursuits and community involvement. Managing resources is so important to our livelihood. In order to care about people, I need to know them – their wants, needs and dreams. Helping them achieve those dreams drives me every day.
I also spend a fair amount of time pursuing new work opportunities for the Dallas office as well as all of Swinerton. Whether it’s nurturing existing relationships or fostering new ones, it’s important to connect with others to gain understanding of opportunities and future growth in the area.
My day also typically includes some sort of community engagement–which I enjoy immensely. Whether my time is spent doing volunteer work, contributing to charities, or meeting with our county and state lawmakers, I am committed to improving our communities in meaningful ways.
Q: What makes now an exciting time to be in Dallas?
A: The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the largest inland MSA in the United States. Containing 13 counties, the area is home to 25 Fortune 500 companies, a client type that aligns with our strategic vision for Swinerton. Outstanding data and opportunities aside, what makes the metroplex great is the people. The unsurpassed diversity in this market makes it the most exciting place to work!
