Dustin grew up in Fort Worth where he graduated from Dunbar Magnet High School and then went to UT Austin for Mechanical Engineering. He first started playing soccer at age 4. At age 8, he started his first business where he purchased candy from Sam’s and sold them at school and made the spread. The profit was about $50/week. His bus driver called him "the candy man" and that business continued until the school threatened to kick him out of school unless he stopped selling candy. He also mowed lawns, bought and sold baseball cards, and put together “carnivals”. His passion for business continued in college where he started an internet business selling gaming cards (and threw his first charity event). He sold them all around the world while working 2 jobs to pay for mechanical engineering school at UT Austin.   

After college, he started my real estate career by flipping houses and purchasing rentals with an eye to go bigger. Dustin began his multifamily career in 2012 by investing passively in 2 deals and syndicated his first deal in 2014 and raised over $1.6M for the purchase. By the end of 2019, he had syndicated 10 apartment deals worth over $80M and have raised over $20M in equity. In 2019, he raised over $10k for charity and was elected to his first non-profit board (Cancer Care Services). Dustin helped to start a Multifamily meetup that he co-host in Las Colinas called Momentum. He currently plays on 2 soccer teams, workout at Enduralab, and has the goal of running 1 mile in under 5 minutes.
