Dustin Heitmann
Houston | Southeast Texas
Dustin is our Principal in the Houston office, joining CDCC in 2014 after 18 years in construction and banking.
He has called Houston home since 1981 after being born in Germany. After graduating from Texas A&M University with a degree in Construction Science, he started his career in industrial construction before moving to commercial project management with a national general contractor firm. He then transitioned to Wells Fargo Bank as an internal construction risk manager overseeing the construction due diligence on new construction loans and other assets across the country. He also received an MBA from the University of Houston during this time. This gives him a two-fold approach to construction risk management by understanding the development & construction process but also the lender’s perspective in risk management and loan oversight. In his spare time, you can find Dustin spending time with his wife and two sons and enjoying the outdoors or playing a round of golf.
