🏠 His start in the industry: Hector has been with the Sherwin-Williams Paint Company for 30 years this May. His father, a painter who worked for one of the pioneering builders in The Woodlands, Jerry Kirkpatrick, inspired his interest in the homebuilding industry at a very young age!

👷 GHBA: Hector joined the GHBA in 2004, to better understand the home building market and to build connections with industry peers. He's been a member of the GHBA's Bay Area Builders Association Board of Directors since 2005, and this year, he serves as BABA's President. Hector is the very first associate member to hold this position.

🤝 Charity Work: Hector and the Sherwin-Williams team have supported Operation Finally Home since its inception, as well as HomeAid Houston - both of GHBA's charitable partners.

🛥️ Passions: Outside of work and the GHBA, Hector treasures his time with his wife of 28 years. They enjoy traveling and going on cruises together. He also finds joy in spending time with his three-year-old grandson and watching him grow!

🏡 GHBA’s Impact: "Through the GHBA, I've gained invaluable knowledge about the building industry and formed friendships with extraordinary individuals who have enriched my life," Hector said. ... See MoreSee Less

🌟 Meet Johnnye Barrera, CEO for AdMANgination, our featured member for #MembershipMonday! 🏡 Here's a look at her journey:

🏠 His start in the industry: Johnnye began working in graphic design and marketing for clients in the home building industry back in 1985. Since then, builders and developers have continued to make up about 90% of his client base.

👷 GHBA: Back in 1985, Johnnye did a lot of pro bono design work for several GHBA members who needed support with marketing and graphic design for GHBA events, such as PRISM Awards. That work introduced him to some great GHBA events over the years. In 2011, Johnnye was invited to join the board of directors for the GHBA Sales & Marketing Council — and he’s been proudly serving ever since in various roles. Mostly as the Marketing Chair (every year since 2014), and today serves as Associate Vice President. He was honored as the SMC Associate of the Year in 2010 and recognized as the SMC Board Member of the Year in 2023. He has served as Chair or Co-chair for the SMC's Battle of the Builders event ten times (wow!). Alongside the PRISM Awards, Battle of the Builders remains one of his favorite GHBA SMC events each year.

🤝 Charity Work: Outside of the GHBA, Johnnye has continued to donate his time and talents to various charities — most notably AmFAR, creating graphics and marketing materials for five major concert events featuring legends like Liza Minnelli, Tony Bennett, Diana Ross and Barry Manilow, helping raise over $5 million for HIV research in Houston. One of his proudest moments was learning that the research team they helped fund contributed to the development of antiviral medication that prevents the transmission of HIV from mother to baby during pregnancy.

💡 Passions: Johnnye enjoys staying active, spending time with his Golden Retrievers, and teaming up with neighbors on year-round landscaping efforts. Since last summer, he’s also taken on a unique passion project—raising ducks to help replenish the local lakes in Fulshear. From hatching eggs to releasing fully grown ducks, he’s already raised and released around 60, with 22 more set to join the waters this spring and summer. And yes, he’s proudly named each one!

🏡 GHBA’s Impact: For Johnnye, the GHBA has been a meaningful way to engage with Houston’s builder community using his design and marketing skills on a broader scale. It’s also been a great boost for his business, he says. The GHBA has opened the door to long-time professional and personal connections. One of the joys has been watching clients grow their families over the years, with some of their kids now in high school or even heading off to college. ... See MoreSee Less
