Hance has spent 30+ years at the intersection of law, investment analysis, asset management, and family wealth. His focus has always been the long view: disciplined capital oversight, clear risk thinking, and a genuine understanding of what each family is ultimately trying to build. Thirty years of market cycles, family dynamics, and legal structures makes clear what holds up and what does not.

Outside the office, Hance is a golfer, bird hunter, fisherman, and conservationist who enjoys spending as much time outdoors as possible. He is also a serious collector with an eye for craftsmanship and design, particularly vintage Porsches, contemporary art, art glass, antiques, and mid-century architecture.

Hance and his wife, Debbie, are passionate travelers and self-professed Francophiles who enjoy finding exceptional restaurants, exploring local markets and antique shops, and bringing home inspiration for the kitchen and their collections. Food is a shared obsession: they cook together, entertain often, and seek out memorable meals wherever they go. They are the proud parents of a blended family with four grown daughters, Grayson, Phoebe, Carly, and Abby, who remain at the center of their lives.

Hance and Debbie are also deeply involved in Houston’s cultural and philanthropic community. They are active supporters of The Orange Show Center for Visionary Arts. Hance previously served on the Board of Directors of The Open Door Mission and as an advisory member of the Houston Arts Alliance.

Whether evaluating an investment opportunity, supporting a community organization, or searching for the perfect addition to a collection, Hance is drawn to quality, authenticity, craftsmanship, and enduring value.
