This web site will explain a little about me and what I’ve been up to for the last 40 years. I also have some history of both sides of my family here in Texas since the 1850’s.

Me, hiking with family in Colorado

On my mother’s side, my Great, Great Grandfather moved the family to Texas as well in the late 1800’s. Here is the pioneer in their family, Captain R.W. Carpenter raised cattle, fought in the Civil War and died on a runaway horse outside his ranch in Plano.

About Clint

I am a six generation native Texan, from my mother and father’s side of the family. In 1856, my Great-Great-Great Grandfather, John Haggard, took a chance for a better life and moved the family from Kentucky to Collin County, Texas when there were very few settlers. His children prospered and have been farming and ranching for the last 150 years where he settled. In the late 1980’s our family farm was in the path of progress when Ross Perot decided to build EDS (Electronic Data Systems) north of our farm. His company brought lots of employment and growth for the area which paved the way for the Dallas North Tollway. They paved it right through the middle of our farm. I was just getting out of High School at the time and really didn’t pay much attention to the traffic, other than it was cumbersome to move tractors, combines and work cows; especially when they got out onto the highway. But the traffic has since changed they way we live.
Education and Experience
I watched my family get more involved in real estate development and less involved in farming. So midstream in college, I changed my major from agriculture to business. I graduated from Tarleton State University in 1992 with a double major in Accounting and Finance. I also earned my Texas Real Estate Brokerage license soon after. Since then, I have been involved in development, brokerage, management, acquisitions and sales of all types. For more detail on past projects, click here.
I have also been a small business owner in child development centers and restaurants as well as helped many individuals and families with their personal finances and estate planning.
After three years in night school, I received my Culinary Arts Certificate from Collin County Community College in Fall 2005 to increase my knowledge in the restaurant business.
To support family estate and financial planning, I obtained my General Securities License (Series 7), Life, Accident, Health & HMO License as well as my Investment Advisor Representative License (Series 66). I learned very early not to be a captive agent for any one company. They will all claim their products/investments are the best; but, it is my job to tune out the sales jargon and find the best company or specialist for the individual needs of each client based on how the contract is written, cost and actual performance. I am truly independent and not bound by any one product, manager or company. The specialists/solutions I recommend come from my own experiences as much as possible in estate and financial planning, trust administration, investing, tax preparation and family succession since 1992.
Personals and Passions
Family is very important to me, and the older I get, the more I get it. It is not by chance that the Haggard family has done well over the last six generations (maybe a little). Each generation has a responsibility to support, mentor and spend time together with extended family members so that values and heritage are passed down as well as hard lessons in life and money that have been learned by elders. It doesn’t sound that hard in theory, but when your talking about at a cousins level, it’s going to takes some effort and some outside help at times. We have a living structure in place that prepares us for that and I’m glad to steer any family similar to ours in the right direction. Not many families have achieved what we have achieved and found what we have found along the way.
I’m a big believer in learning the Latin culture and language that is playing a larger role in economics today, especially in Texas. I grew up working on a farm and ranch with a Latin-American work force, many of which did not speak English but were a large part of our family and everyday lives– and still are. I studied with a private tutor for years to learn Spanish and spent part of my summers living with families in Cuernavaca, Mexico and Quetzaltenango, Guatemala while studying in language schools. Anybody can learn the language, but it does no good if you don’t understand the culture behind it.
Farming has been a large part of my life. An American Farmer Degree hangs on my wall, which I’m proud of. Even though I don’t earn a living farming, I still have a passion for getting my hands dirty. I still help out around what’s left of the family farm when I have time, mainly to unwind. I also have an organic vegetable garden every year with plenty of tomatoes, okra and squash!
On the ranching side, I still have a passion for working cows and riding a young horse. We don’t have many cows any more, so it’s usually helping a friend on their ranch. I rode bareback bucking horses and roped calves at West Texas State University then at Tarleton State University. I don’t look forward to riding a bucking horse any more, but still like to swing a rope when I get the chance.
I’m an old house guy and don’t really care much for the new conventional homes being built across the country since the 1970’s. I live in a 1868 farm house that I moved from the path of progress in 1997 (as well as the barn). I have also restored three other historic homes.
I hold my Private Pilot License and have flown a Cessna 150 & 152, Cessna 172, Cardinal 177, Piper Comanche 250 and a Cessna T210. I have completed mountain flying instruction and fly to Steamboat, Colorado occasionally during the summers.
I also have a passion for good music, whether it is jazz, rock, bluegrass, classical or country. I am not a big fan of the top 40 song lists on the radio. I played banjo and guitar in a bluegrass band while in college.
I am a father of four wonderful children who are a part of my adventures.
Out of all my experiences, I have realized that whatever I am involved with, I try to have fun, be treated as I would want to be treated, and keep things as simple as possible. I also see myself as a pioneer just like my Great-Great-Great Grandfather, looking beyond the normal trends to make changes for the better.
-Clint Haggard

My Great, Great Grandfather, Clinton Shepard Haggard who was a true pioneer in his day (also who I was named after) moved with his Dad from Kentucky to Texas in 1856. He grew his farm and ranch to over 2,000 acres, fought in Civil War and lost his thumb in a gun fight on his ranch. Click here for more info...

I grew up farming and like to work hard and watch things grow. My family has been farming since 1856 in Plano, Texas, and still going…
