This web site will explain my business philosophy and where I invest my time and money. I also have a bio on myself and my partners as well as some history of both sides of my family here in Texas since the 1850’s.
My Philosophy:
My company is entrepreneurial based. I focus on products that I am passionate about as a consumer that have opportunity to grow in an existing or new market. I partner up with an experienced leader in the local industry that shares the same passion, work ethics and entrepreneurial spirit. The businesses I have been involved with are ones that have real estate opportunities through growth in a market; whether solely as a real estate development or as a business.

About Clint

About Clint

Clint's Partners

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 following a trail made by Indians (Preston Trail) when there were very few settlers. He and 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, acquisitions and sales of all types of real estate, primarily residential, office and retail. For more detail on past projects, click here.
I have also been heavily involved with tax analysis and development of estate planning for the Haggard and the Carpenter families. I have been administrating the Carpenter’s estate planning since 2000 as well as managing their real estate portfolio around North, East & West Texas and Central Arkansas.
In 2000, I also started managing a business portfolio consisting of a restaurant (Swan Court) and three child development centers under the management umbrella of HomePlace (Parkwood Child Development Center, Dayspring Preschool of NRH & Preston Ridge Preschool). We sold the centers in 2007.
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.
In 2005 I branched out of Texas and started developing residential property in Arkansas and created Natural State Land Development in 2006 for Central and Northwest Arkansas opportunities.
In 2007 I partnered up with Kelly Kuhlmann to build 9 Taco Bueno restaurants in Louisville, Kentucky. I’m a huge Bueno Head and have been eating there since 1983.
Personals and Passions
In 2006 I purchased two, turn-of-the-century homes in Plano, Texas to restore and resell. One is a Prairie style and the other is Victorian. I also live in a 1868 farm house that I moved from the path of progress in 1997 (as well as the barn). 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. In my opinion, they lack the architectural character and charm of the past traditional southern 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 currently fly the T210 to keep up with the Arkansas developments as well as look for new opportunities in Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana. I have completed mountain flying instruction and fly to Steamboat, Colorado occasionally during the summers.
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, back when Tarleton Rodeo Team went to the College National Finals Rodeo every year. 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 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 like to find the locals who have a story to tell in a song, or the unnoticed great musician at the local pub. 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 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.
