Holding the line through Hurricane Harvey
Drove pricing with rent-optimization software and market data, plus a focused renewal-retention strategy, under severe market and storm pressure.
← All fields Core Practice · CAM
Twenty years running multifamily communities as a Certified Apartment Manager (CAM) — owning the numbers behind the doors: occupancy, NOI, budgets, and the on-site teams that deliver them.
Impact
Approach
From single communities to a nationwide workforce-housing portfolio held by a North American REIT, I run the daily operation and the financials underneath it. I've held the line through market saturation, Hurricane Harvey, and three back-to-back ownership transitions with no regional presence on the ground — and kept the properties performing.
Capabilities
Portfolio

Sustained operations — including months with no regional presence — across three ownership transitions (Davis → Lane → Steadfast).
Renegotiated vendor contracts and led new-construction punch on the luxury Catalyst high-rise in downtown Houston.
