Key to Terry’s success is involvement in the cost aspect of business ventures.

Terry has been profitable on every home under his management and subsequently every business endeavor he has undertaken. His in-depth understanding of the cost side of each business is the foundation for strategic business plans that yield profitable results. Prior to entering the homebuilding industry, Terry built and operated the Medicare Pharmacy in his hometown of Marshall, Arkansas from 1974-1978. He borrowed 100% of the funds to build, accessorize, and stock the pharmacy. The business was profitable in six months; and, all debt was paid off in eighteen months.

Terry obtained a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1973. He also attended the University of Central Arkansas from 1967-1969.

Terry is currently an owner of a variety of homebuilding, construction and development companies and serves on the Board of Directors for the World Evangelism Fellowship, a group that is involved in water well development in third world countries. Additionally, he is involved in the President’s Council of “A Defining Moment” which helps with AIDS education and treatment in Sub-Saharan Africa.
