Don Eastveld is the founder and visionary of TNRG. Since coming to Houston in the 1970’s to do industrial development, Don has been a prominent leading figure on the Houston Commercial Real Estate scene.

Through Don’s leadership, TNRG ‘s developments have expanded to include Industrial, Medical, Land, and Residential developments, which provide a who’s/who list of clients and investment partners with superior performance and maximum returns.
