MEMBERSHIP MONDAY SPOTLIGHT

🌟 Meet Drew Ondrey with Southern Green Builders, our featured member for #MembershipMonday! 🏡 Heres a look at his journey:

🏠 His start in the industry: Growing up, Drew always had a strong interest in construction and design. That interest led him to the residential building industry over 22 years ago. Drew started with hands-on field experience, working small warranty claims, to then learning the ins and outs of project management, budgeting and customer service. Over time, he built a team and launched his own company, Southern Green Builders, focused on delivering high-quality, custom homes.

👷 GHBA: Today, Drew serves at the Custom Builders Council president, but hes been involved with the GHBA for over 20 years. He joined the GHBA to connect with like-minded professionals who are passionate about raising the standards of our industry. The association offers a platform to learn, share ideas and advocate for our profession, and he saw it as a way to grow personally while giving back to the building community, he says.

🤝 Charity Work: Outside of GHBA, Drew supports his local parish and Habitat for Humanity. He also leads youth groups and youth sports programs, and helps families in need of safe and stable housing or any general repairs. Giving back to the community is just as important as building within it, Drew said.

🍃 Passions: In his free time, Drew enjoys spending time with his family and being outdoors.

🏡 GHBA’s Impact: Being part of GHBA has opened the door to relationships I never would have made otherwise. I’ve gained mentors, colleagues and friends who have helped me grow my business and expand my perspective, Drew said. The networking, education and camaraderie have had a direct impact on both my professional success and personal fulfillment.

🌟 Meet Tracy Youngblood, Principal, Practice Leader, Planning + Landscape Architecture for BGE, our featured member for #MembershipMonday! 🏡 Heres a look at his journey:

🏠 His start in the industry: As a native Houstonian, Tracy started his career in home building as a planner for the City of Houston 25 years ago. As a city planner, Tracy became very familiar with the city’s regulations related to subdivision platting and land development-related activities. Tracy joined the BGE team in 2003 to lead the subdivision platting team. Today, he is part of the leadership team, leading their planning and landscape architecture team.

👷 GHBA: Tracy has generously given his time and talents as a GHBA volunteer for the past nine years. He joined to build relationships with other industry professionals, stay up to date on industry trends and contribute to the progress and development of Houstons home building community, he says. Today, he serves on the Developers Council board of directors and was recently appointed as the Benefit Homes Project Chair. He has also served on the Dry Utility Task Force Sub-Committee and the Budgeting and Calendaring Committee

🤝 Charity Work: Outside of the GHBA, Tracy has donated his time and talents to HomeAid Houston, Helping Hands and The Road Mission Teams through Faithbridge Church, Adopt-A-Mile through Precinct 3 and Precinct 4 within Harris County and Keep Fulshear Beautiful.

✈️ Passions: Outside the office, Tracy enjoys spending quality time and travelling with his wife, Melissa, and their grown children, Emma (23), Jack (20) and Grace (17). He loves watching a great college football game or going for a walk along the many trails and bayous in and around our region. Most of all, he lives for chasing tailing redfish as the sun rises over the shallow flats of South Texas, he says.

🏡 GHBA’s Impact: “Above all else, GHBA has brought me connectivity, Tracy says. Being an active GHBA member has introduced me to a level of industry professionals I would not have had the opportunity to meet and collaborate with otherwise. Additionally, I’ve developed numerous business relationships with industry leaders involved with GHBA and decision makers within the agencies and municipalities that have a direct impact on our industry within the Houston region.
