I have always believed success comes from two simple principles: honesty & hard work. My more than 26-year career in real estate reflects that philosophy. I have always been driven to lead with integrity and outwork the competition. As the founder of Lone Star Realty, a boutique real estate company with sales almost reaching a billion dollars, I work alongside an exceptional group of agents to market & sell waterfront & residential homes, farm and ranch properties, & rural land across more than 19 counties in East Texas. What began in 2003 as a home-based company has grown into a network of four offices with nearly a billion dollars in total sales volume, including more than $150,000,000 in personal production. I guide clients through every step with clarity & confidence, from identifying the right opportunities to negotiating a successful closing. Recognized by the Greater Tyler Association of Realtors, I served on GTAR committees for 11 years and was elected Chairman of the Board in 2015. In 2021, I was honored to be nominated as a Five Star Real Estate Agent by my past clients. Before real estate, I followed a different entrepreneurial path. After earning a degree in Advertising from the University of Texas in 1974 & moving to East Texas with my wife, Barbara, we founded Alexander Campbell, a women's sportswear company, in 1985. The business grew into a multi-million, dollar brand shipping to 33 states as well as Mexico, Canada, and Puerto Rico. We sold the company in 1997 & became licensed Realtors in 1999. Our three children and grandchildren are our greatest blessings. We have owned 8 Great Danes and we are devoted Longhorns fans. Barbara enjoys fishing at our lake house and I like working. My greatest passion remains serving my clients with the same honesty and integrity that built my company.
