Professional Experience

I have been involved in the appraisal of real property as a profession since May of 1980 and have made appraisals of real estate for banks, savings and loan institutions, governmental agencies, law firms, real estate development companies and numerous individuals. My professional assignments have included the valuation of residential, commercial and agricultural properties. I have made appraisals for condemnation purposes, estate and gift tax valuation, county tax valuation purposes and financial purposes. I have completed the requirements under the continuing education program of the Appraisal Institute. I currently hold the MAI designation of the Appraisal Institute, the ARA designation of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, and I am a State Certified General Real Estate Appraiser for the State of Texas. I am certified under the Continuing Education Programs for the Appraisal Institute through December 31, 2011, and the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers through December 31, 2009.
