Kelli Kohler, NCIDQ

Everyone at Maverick would like to congratulate Kelli, our Interior Design Studio Director, for completing all requirements and passing her licensure examination this week. As with everyone in the Interior Design and Architectural fields, licensure is a proud moment in our careers.

In other Maverick News.....

* Our preferred Architectural Photographer, Daniel Newcomb, is shooting the Galerie Restaurant and Bar at the Mona Lisa Hotel Monday night - we will be sure to post the photos as soon as we get them delivered.
* One of my best friends , F. Michael Graves - owner of Autotainment Ventures, llc has just opened Hillcrest Autotainment Mall in Huntsville, Texas. Michael and Maverick worked together to create this retro small town dealership which houses Ford, Lincoln-Mercury and pre-owned sales. Again, as soon as we get the professional photographs delivered, we will be sure to post. Michael is also working with Maverick on Prestige Ford in Garland, Texas as well as a retail mall redevelopment in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
* Runabouts in the Tarpon Pointe Marina development in Cape Coral, Florida is back! A project that Maverick began a couple of years ago, Runabouts was put on hold while this condo/hotel development gained sales and financing momentum. Bob Hensley, President of Grosse Pointe Development, has now kicked this project back into gear as the base building tower is nearly 75% complete. We look forward to a late 2009 opening - with a few enhancements from the design and layout from 2006.

In the coming weeks, I have trips preliminarily planned for Chicago, Northern Virginia, Las Vegas and Miami - as well as a quick family trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina. At home, Sinclaire continues her acting dream with Shakespeare and Sweeney Todd camps, Hank continues his quest to become the next Tiger Woods with private golf lessons and camps and Karla continues her great job as Chief Financial Officer at Maverick and best friend/wife/mother anyone could ask for.
