It’s a program to prepare them for entering the work force, as well as discuss their opportunities in civil construction. In his early years, his grandfather and uncles mentored him. This program allows him the privilege to do the same for others. The relationships he has built with these students and the numerous other benefits of HCA involvement are what have prompted him to accept the nomination for Vice President which will lead to President.He believes in serving his community.

Partner & General Counsel

Chase started his professional career working as a legislative aide in the 82nd and 83rd Legislative Sessions at the Texas State Capitol.

After working in state government, he decided to attend South Texas College of Law in Houston to better understand the mechanics of the law. After graduation, he worked as an Assistant District Attorney where he gained valuable first chair litigation experience and a better understanding of how public policy is carried out and the impact it has on a community.

Prior to rejoining the family firm, he handled construction related defect, personal injury, and delay cases for Pipkin Ferguson, PLLC.

His broad knowledge working in federal, state, and county government provide him with the problem-solving skills to tackle any regulatory, permitting, or government related issue that may arise.

Cody Barker

Managing Partner

Cody has extensive knowledge in utility sitework construction services (every aspect of construction that needs to happen before the vertical structure is installed).

He has seen it all. He was in the trenches as a young man working on crews and more recently in the boardroom as the head of Construction Phase Services at EHRA Engineering.

He has a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business where he focused on Analytical Finance and Strategic Management. His extensive studies in finance at Booth has contributed to his global understanding of what developers and business owners are faced with from a financing perspective and the importance of speed when it comes to getting utilities installed so vertical construction can begin.

Cody is committed to responsiveness with his clients and timely execution of all of his projects.

During time off, he likes to stay active and spend time with his young growing family.
