Mr. Goff co-founded Crescent Real Estate Equities with Richard Rainwater in the early 90s, designing the strategy and orchestrating the acquisitions leading to its initial public offering in May 1994. Under the helm of Mr. Goff as Vice Chairman and CEO, Crescent grew from approximately $500 million at its IPO to $6.5 billion upon its sale in August 2007 to Morgan Stanley. Crescent provided its shareholders a 15.4% compounded annual return during its 13 year tenure as a public company including the payment of more than $2.5 billion in quarterly cash dividends. In November 2009, Mr. Goff, through his private investment from Goff Capital, teamed up with Barclays Capital in a joint venture to reacquire Crescent Real Estate. Mr. Goff now serves as Chairman and CEO of Crescent Real Estate Holdings.

Mr. Goff also serves as Managing Principal of Goff Capital Partners, which focuses primarily on investments in real estate debt and currently manages a portfolio of more than $4 billion in debt securities through offices in Fort Worth, Denver, and Stamford, CT. Mr. Goff founded the investment company during the credit crisis of 1998.

Mr. Goff directs much of his charitable efforts through the Goff Family Foundation. The Foundation principally focuses on education, providing scholarships in primary and secondary education and creative solutions for specific schools in need.
