Troy’s mission is to help his owner clients reduce risk and to increase their returns from rental property ownership. He is native Houstonian that graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and a Master of Science degree in Finance. He passed all four parts of the CPA examination that same year and began his career working as an auditor with an emphasis on large publicly traded companies in the energy sector.
