About Chris

Your RGV Connection & Relocation Expert

Whether you're relocating to the Rio Grande Valley, moving across town, or searching for the right community, I combine deep local knowledge with decades of sales and business experience to help make your move smooth and successful.

I grew up in McAllen but, like many people, felt the pull of bigger cities and new opportunities. My career took me across Texas and eventually to Los Angeles, where I spent 17 years in international logistics and corporate sales. A chance reconnection with my high school friend, Jared Leadbetter, reminded me where my roots truly belonged, and in 2016 I returned home to South Texas.

Today, I'm proud to serve as a McAllen Chamber Ambassador and Account Manager/Sales Development at Welcome Home RGV. Through my work with Chambers of Commerce across the Valley and my extensive local network, I stay connected to the people, businesses, and opportunities that make the Rio Grande Valley such a special place to live.

Before returning home, I managed major corporate accounts in the transportation and logistics industry, working with international companies and traveling throughout the United States and Canada. Those experiences developed the negotiation, communication, and problem-solving skills that now help my real estate clients navigate one of life's biggest decisions with confidence.

Having experienced relocation myself, I understand both the excitement and the challenges that come with a major move. Whether you're relocating for work, retiring to the Valley, or simply looking for a new place to call home, I'll provide honest guidance, local insight, and personalized service every step of the way.

I speak the local language—whether it's English, Spanish, or the perfect blend of Spanglish—and I'm passionate about helping others discover everything the Rio Grande Valley has to offer.

Whether you're moving from across the country or just across town, I'd be honored to help you find the right home and make your next move your best one yet.
