Fifteen years in Gulf Coast construction. Every claim reflects that background.
I’m a 1993 graduate of Texas A&M University with a degree in finance. I started as a math major, and that foundation has never left me. Numbers and details are how I think. It’s also how I approach a claim: methodically, with everything accounted for and nothing assumed.
After college I worked in commercial real estate, where negotiation wasn’t a skill you developed casually — it was the job. Understanding how to read the other side, build a position, and hold it is something I carried from that world into everything that came after.
What came after was construction. I spent years running a remodeling company in Houston: kitchens, baths, additions, and full gut renovations of apartment complexes in the city’s infill neighborhoods. I know how buildings go together, what repairs actually cost, and what it takes to restore a structure to its pre-loss condition. That knowledge shapes every claim I work.
My first encounter with insurance claims came during Hurricane Ike in 2008, working alongside a contractor helping their clients navigate scope disputes with insurers. I wasn’t a licensed adjuster then. But I was already doing the work.
Over the following years I worked through each of these events as a remodeler, on the construction side of losses that reshaped how Texans understand their insurance coverage. That background — understanding what damage looks like, what full restoration actually costs, and what a complete scope requires — is what I bring to every claim I work today.
Pipe bursts, AC pan overflows, slab leaks, roof-sourced intrusion, and flood. Houston’s exposure to hurricanes and major flood events means water damage is where I’ve spent the most time and seen the widest range of what insurers get wrong.
Tree falls, vehicle strikes, and fire reconstruction. Losses where understanding how the building goes together is the difference between a complete scope and a partial one.
Documentation and scope where invisible damage is the central challenge. Soot infiltration, odor penetration, and heat damage extend far beyond what’s visible at first inspection.
There is no charge for the initial claim review or the on-site visit. If your loss isn’t something we can help with, we’ll tell you that directly — and offer what guidance we can.
