Dick Anderson oversees day to day operations on the landlord side of Hill Partners Inc. Those tasks range from development to acquisitions and sales, leasing, and putting together private equity deals. Though he may be tackling several issues at any given time, Dick is known for attention to details and for understanding how those details relate to larger objectives. Robert Douglass, president of Austin-based First American Flood Data Services, has this to say about Dick Anderson: "He understands our business, he understands our business needs, and he's consistently located space that is just perfect for our business needs at the time." Dick joined the Trammell Crow Co.'s Austin office immediately upon graduation from Southern Methodist University in 1987, and within a year had progressed from an internship to marketing representative. Crow promoted Dick to marketing director of its industrial division in January 1992.
