The Vanguard Story
Rooted in East Texas, Built on Aggie Core Values
Before becoming a business owner, I was a student of the trade and a proud honors graduate of Texas A&M University. My background in finance and my time in the Aggie Network forged the principles I bring to every project: Excellence, Integrity, Leadership, Loyalty, Respect, and Selfless Service.
I founded Vanguard Roofing & Restoration with my brother to bridge the gap between simple repairs and true structural restoration. While many can nail down a shingle, we specialize in the high-stakes details—structural framing, precision flashing, and insurance advocacy—required to truly protect your home.
Whether navigating a complex claim or a custom renovation, my goal is to provide a stress-free experience that secures your most valuable asset. We don't just build roofs; we build partnerships rooted in transparency and professional accountability.
Thank you for trusting us with your home.

Built to a Higher Standard
My commitment to craftsmanship started long before I stepped onto a roof. I grew up learning the importance of technical rigor from my father, a Master Electrician who specialized in complex industrial design-builds. The most important lesson he taught us was simple: "up to code" is just the starting point. We were raised to always go above and beyond the minimum requirements to ensure things are done right the first time.
With over a decade in the field, I’ve spent my career leading crews through every phase of construction—from framing, roofing, and electrical to plumbing, HVAC, and interior finishes. This hands-on background allows me to see your home as a complete system, ensuring every repair we make is structurally sound and works in harmony with the rest of your house.
At Vanguard, I’m here to provide technical expertise and assist with field execution. I’m proud to work alongside my brother, applying a multidisciplinary lens to every site to ensure your project gets the extra care and professional oversight it deserves.
I look forward to overseeing the details that keep your home or business safe.
