MEMBERSHIP MONDAY SPOTLIGHT

We took a long, summer hiatus, but we are back to our weekly Membership Monday feature!🌟 This week, we’d like to introduce a long-time member, David Hodges with Kent Moore Cabinets. 🏡 Here’s a peek into his journey:

👷 GHBA: David has been a member since 2000. At that time, David worked for a small cabinet company that transferred him to Houston. His boss encouraged him to join the Greater Houston Builders Association and get involved. He hit the ground running and became immediately involved in the GHBA’s Associate Council, where he worked his way onto and up the volunteer leadership ladder and eventually served as president of the council. He has even received a Presidential Citation for Associate of the Year for his volunteer commitment. David has served on countless committees and councils over the years, including the Remodelers Council, the GHBA’s Bay Area Builders Association, Northern Counties Builders & Developers Division and more.

“I served on every board I could get on and made the GHBA my life,” David said. “My favorite charity activity with the GHBA was the Adopt-a-Family project. I was Santa Claus a few years – that was incredible. When a small child looks at you and truly believes you are Santa Claus – I’ll never forget that look.”

Today, David serves as a HOME-PAC Trustee at the Council Club level for his financial support of the GHBA’s Political Action Committee. David is also a 2024 Distinguished Member and serves on the Membership Committee this year.

💖 Passions: David has a wife, five children and 10 grandchildren who keep him busy in his spare time. “I build whatever my grandkids want,” he said. Most recently, David built his grandkids a big treehouse with an attached zipline in their backyard in Hockley. He also builds wooden swords for his grandkids whenever they ask, and right now, he’s building props for his grandkids’ school drama department.

🤝 Charity Work: Over the years, David has volunteered for HomeAid Houston, and he’s been involved with an organization called Celebrate Recovery for 15 years.

🏠 GHBA’s Impact: “Joining the association is the best thing I could have ever done for my career and for meeting good people and having fun – it has brought me opportunities. I’ve worked for several companies since I moved to Houston in 2000, and I’ve always been able to take advantage of the GHBA network for new job opportunities,” David said. “You won’t find better people than the people who work for the GHBA. If you want to serve, there’s plenty of opportunities to serve here.”

He is one of my favorite members!

Great member!

Membership Monday looks a little different today as we honor two veteran GHBA members, Randy Birdwell and the late Larry Johnson, for receiving the high honor of being inducted into the Texas Association of Builders’ 2024 Texas Housing Hall of Honor.

During Randy Birdwells 40-year career in production home building, he pioneered the innovative Custom Production concept, and his leadership in reforming the Residential Construction Liability Act earned him the first Texas Association of Builders Builder of the Year award in 1993. Birdwell served as GHBA president in 1996. Today, Birdwell serves as the chairman of Flintrock Builders.

Larry D. Johnson, a leader in community development, founded Johnson Development in 1967, creating nationally recognized master-planned communities such as Sienna, Riverstone and Fall Creek. By his passing in 2022, Johnson Development had expanded to 19 active communities across multiple states, with over 80,000 residential units and a legacy of preserving or planting 2 million trees.

Birdwell and Johnson will be officially inducted during the Excellence in Leadership Dinner on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at the Hyatt Lost Pines in Bastrop, Texas. Learn more about their impact on the homebuilding industry and their notable careers at ghba.org/news.
