Robert H. White

Robert graduated from Texas A&M University in 1981 with a BBA in accounting and went to work with Arthur Andersen & Co. in its San Antonio office. In 1984, he joined a privately-owned real estate company in Houston and began developing and managing commercial properties. Robert joined Jefferson Realty Company in 1992 to focus on real estate acquisition and development opportunities arising out of the real estate market crash of the late 1980s and from asset dispositions by U.S. government agencies and financial institutions. He went on to co-found Jefferson Development Company in 1996, targeting an array of structured investment opportunities in real estate assets and development projects including apartments, land acquisitions and master planned communities. A certified public accountant and a licensed real estate broker, Robert is a member of the Texas Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Prior to his election to The Association of Former Students’ Board of Directors, he served as a Representative at Large. Robert and his wife of 38 years, Dee, have one daughter, Jennifer White Hartmann ’09, who is married to Kenneth J. Hartmann ’10, along with two grandchildren, James and Cece. Robert and Dee are members of The Association’s Endowed Century Club, members of the A&M Legacy Society, Mays Business School Endowed Scholarship donors, members of the 12th Man Foundation Champions Council and members of the Eppright Distinguished Donor Program. In his spare time, Robert enjoys implementing range and water resource stewardship practices on their ranch in Kimble County.
