Brian is currently the President of the Association of Texas Appraisers. He holds the Association of Texas Appraisers’ ATA-R designation as well as the MNAA designation through the National Association of Appraisers (NAA). Brian has been a regular attendee at all ATA general meetings where he could be seen assisting in meeting organization and announcements. He has been fortunate to attend some regional meetings and was proud to represent the ATA at the ACTS Conference 2024. For the past year, Brian has represented the ATA at monthly TALCB meetings in Austin where he has had the opportunity to speak before the state board regarding important issues facing appraisers today. He also attended the Austin Fair Housing Conference in a support role for the ATA. Brian is a member of the National Association of Appraisers (NAA) and participates on the NAA’s Appraiser Relief Fund Special Selection Committee, the Board of Governors Committee, and the Conference Program Committee.

Brian has a passion for the Association of Texas Appraisers organization and is committed to ensuring that the ATA is the best source for appraiser education and networking. Ultimately, he wants the ATA to be a place of support and belonging for the “boots on the ground appraiser.”  He is committed to the future of the organization and will honor its beginnings by continuing to seek opportunities for Texas appraisers to grow personally and professionally in this ever-changing industry. Brian is passionate about ATA’s mission statement of “protecting the interests of all professional appraisers in Texas” and providing “opportunities for continuing education and professional association for real estate appraisers within the State of Texas.”
