She most recently served as Controller at R.W. Cox Incorporated and previously held a leadership role in the Client Accounting Services department at Saville CPAs & Advisors. Tonya has supported businesses across a variety of industries including real estate, construction, retail, and restaurants.

Jeff founded Brand Partners with the idea that working toward a common goal would create more success than competing against each other, and it would be a lot more fun. Prior to BP, Jeff was an acquisition partner at Greenway Investment Company and before that a top-producing broker at United Commercial Realty (CBRE). Jeff graduated with a marketing degree from Boston University, where the city of Boston helped him understand the true value of great buildings and the benefit they have on a community.

Luke joined Brand Partners in 2015 and is an indispensable asset to the company. He gets the job done right championing due diligence, financial modeling, market research, and client relations. Luke graduated with an accounting degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. In his spare time, Luke likes to play golf, coach Cross Fit and spend time with his family and friends. Luke is a member of the North Texas Commercial Association of Realtors (NTCAR), and the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).

Our Values

Do the right thing. Always.

We believe that business should be done in a fair, honest, and transparent way. Everything we do must stand the test of public scrutiny.

We’re great to work with.

We like to have fun, but we’re serious about results. We have passion and pride for what we do and how we do it.

Be the change you seek.

We cannot stand still. We attack complacency and continually improve by being informed, innovative, and seeking out new ideas.

A great process = great results.

Brand Partner’s winning tradition is based on striving to be the best, not the biggest. We are committed to doing it right the first time.

Relationships are everything.

We build trust through responsible actions and honest relationships with our clients, investors, and each other.

The Golden Rule.

We respect all people, value the differences among them and treat others with dignity. This requires us to know ourselves and to try to understand others.

Our Culture

We take our passion beyond work into our daily practices. Some of us drink too much coffee, have an unduly amount of sneakers, or chase toddlers, dogs, etc. But we all share a collective attitude that great work comes from investing in relationships and building meaningful bonds.

Join The Team

We are growing and looking for great people. If you think you might be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.
