His calm demeanor in the face of adversity and his timely injections of humor give his clients peace of mind and the assurance that Chip will help them achieve their goals.

A native of The Woodlands, Chip has lived in the area since 1981, when the fledgling community had fewer than 9,000 residents and only two elementary schools. Chip has literally grown up alongside The Woodlands and is intimately familiar with its geography, its culture, its amenities, and its story. Chip vividly remembers walking the muddy pit that would become Lake Woodlands at the "Bottom Of The Lake" party in 1985, and recalls riding his dirt bike with friends around the dirt track that would become Mall Ring Rd. around The Woodlands Mall.

After college, Chip and his wife chose The Woodlands as the place they would put down roots and raise their children. This decision was based primarily on the excellent public schools, and additionally on other Woodlands-area amenities like abundant natural areas, outdoor recreational activities, dining and shopping, churches and public institutions, and proximity to friends and family. Chip and his family have also enjoyed attending and participating in annual Woodlands events like The Woodlands Art Festival and The Woodlands Pride Festival, as well as the annual Fourth of July Parade and the seasonal concerts at Market Street and Hughes Landing.

Chip and his wife Jeanette live in the Village of Alden Bridge with their two children, three dogs, and two cats. In addition to spending time with his family, Chip enjoys taking in live music shows, traveling (especially to California's Wine Country), preparing lavish meals with friends, collecting rare bourbons, and supporting The Woodlands Pride organization.
