“Texas, and especially Austin, is unlike any other business community I’ve operated in. It’s a very collaborative environment, both professionally and personally. If you are a good person, and practice the Golden Rule people will bend over backwards in support of you and your team.”

“You must give back to the community you are working in or were brought up in and do what you can to make it better for future generations. If not, then what was all the work for in the past?”

“To set the standard for excellence, I feel the need to help others who are under my leadership, ensuring that they do not make the same business mistakes I made and guiding them to eventually surpass me.”

“Being inquisitive and curious about the world around me has led me to analyze industries and uncover burning problems, all of which is at the heart of entrepreneurship. The startup life is full of ups and downs, but a commitment to solving the problem is what keeps the passion going.”

“Excellence in business is following the values of honesty, integrity, and doing right by others and yourself.”

“Excellence in business is defined by the effort put forth […] It is the improved communication of the team each time they work together, it is the improved pitch deck after each declined offer, but it is also in the success gardened from all that growth. Excellence is found as we learn and become smarter, success is what we reap from those lessons.”

“Texas has a powerful mix of risk capital, talented engineers, and a culture that supports veterans and values military experience. This is all wrapped in the “can-do” Texas culture, which is entrepreneurial at its core.”

When I find something, I think is really interesting, I get hooked on it. And I was hooked on TBHF.

“Excellence is both an outcome and a mentality; it might not be something you achieve on the first try, without hard work. Because of that, we put a continuous effort into improving and delivering better experiences and outcomes for our clients.”
