About White Magnolia Living
A Journey Built One Step at a Time
My path to White Magnolia Living wasn't a straight one, but every part of it helped shape the way I approach hospitality today.
I graduated from Texas A&M University and began my career as a CPA, where I developed a strong appreciation for organization, systems, strategy, and building businesses on a solid foundation. Over time, however, I found myself increasingly drawn to the creative side of life—design, hospitality, marketing, projects, and the experiences that bring people together.
When we purchased White Magnolia Galveston, I wasn't coming into the vacation rental world as an expert. I came in ready to learn.

Building White Magnolia Galveston From the Ground Up
White Magnolia Galveston became my hands-on education in vacation rental hospitality.
From property setup and guest communication to cleaning standards, amenities, photography, direct bookings, social media, Google visibility, pricing strategy, and the smallest details of the guest experience, I learned by doing.
I built systems, tested ideas, made mistakes, adjusted, improved, and kept asking the same question:
How can we make the guest experience even better?
That willingness to continually learn and improve helped turn White Magnolia Galveston into a standout vacation rental and ultimately became the foundation for White Magnolia Living.

Growth, Recognition & Momentum
As White Magnolia Galveston grew, so did our understanding of what makes a vacation rental truly stand out. A consistent focus on guest experience, presentation, visibility, and continuous improvement led to meaningful recognition along the way.
From One Property to a Bigger Vision
What began with one historic Galveston home has grown into a much broader vision.
White Magnolia Living now brings together hospitality, property management, inspection services, property reviews, marketing strategy, and the lessons learned through operating a real vacation rental every day.
The goal is not simply to manage properties. It's to help vacation rental owners see their homes through the eyes of the guest, identify opportunities, build stronger systems, and create experiences people remember.
As the White Magnolia Living portfolio grows, our focus will remain the same: thoughtfully managed homes, exceptional hospitality, and trusted partnerships.
Building systems, reviewing properties, and helping vacation rental owners find opportunities to grow.
