Our Team

A Note From Our Founder

We talk a lot about homes around here. But the truth is, we're building something much larger than that.
It starts with people. The team you see here is the leadership and the heartbeat of Pinnacle — and now, of Pinnacle Modern. They care deeply about the work. They show up for each other. And they show up for every client who puts their trust in us.
For me, it has never been just about delivering a project. It's about the relationships that form along the way, the trust that builds through hard conversations, the laughter in the middle of a long week, the moment a client walks through their finished home for the first time. That's what this team makes possible.
I'm grateful you're here, and I'm grateful to be home. As a Texas native and a proud Baylor grad, I can't wait to see what we build together.

People / Culture

"We're not a company doing business together — we're a family doing life together."

We're a people-first company, full stop. We find great people and invest in helping them succeed, not by managing from above, but by building the kind of culture where people actually want to do their best work.

We hire first for character and culture. Second for passion and potential. Third for experience and credentials. Skills can be taught. Character is who you are.

We believe in finding where a person's interests and skills intersect then building their role around that, representing their strengths. We call it swimming downstream: when the work flows with who you are, everything moves faster and better. For the team. For the client. For the home.

Our team is a mix of personalities, backgrounds, beliefs, and interests — and we think that's exactly right. We work hard, play hard, and once a year, we take the whole team to Mexico to celebrate the culture and family we've built together.
