After graduating from Texas Tech University, I worked for a State Farm agent for a brief period of time before joining the Coldwell Banker residential team here in Lubbock as a real estate agent. My brother-in-law was (and still is) a commercial agent at Coldwell Banker and after having many conversations with him regarding commercial transactions, I knew I wanted to be on the commercial side of real estate in some form or fashion.
