Meet Les
Captain of our Ship. Pocket Square Lover. Unlicensed Architect. Father of 4. Jiu Jitsu Practitioner. Baylor Bear. Travel Basketball Coach.
Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up?
The first baseman for the Houston Astros catching a 6-4-3 double play with Bill Doran.
What are you happiest doing, when you’re not working?
Sitting around a fire with friends or family telling funny stories from the past.
Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about?
I can tie a bow tie without watching a video.
What is the best advice you ever received?
That’s a no brainer. It’s act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
What’s the most inspiring part of your job?
Walking through the doors of a ground-up development that’s bustling with life and energy when it only existed in my teams' mind five years prior.
