An army brat, Larry Kelley grew up in Tex- as, Morocco and the United Kingdom. “I worked briefly as an engineer before deciding to be more of a generalist and own my own business,” says Kelley. “I wasn’t smart enough to see the opportunities in tech or Wall Street, so I chose a more traditional career in real estate.” The company’s latest project, The Railyards, “will make as big or a bigger contribution to the growth of the region as McClellan or Stanford Ranch.” Texas A&M University, Harvard Business School (MBA)
