Aron Lofton

Aron Lofton built his multi-million-dollar construction and development career on his belief in what he calls “the hustle and the grind”. After playing D-II college football, he transferred to Oklahoma State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in Biomechanics. Lofton subsequently became a professional mixed martial artist fighting for some of the largest and most prestigious promotions in North America. As has been a recurrent theme throughout his life, he worked harder than anyone else—training twice daily-- to be successful. “I enjoy reaching for things that might seem beyond my grasp. I appreciate hard work and have confidence in my ability to persevere. I’ve also surrounded myself with highly talented and successful people who share my work ethic and believe in my vision and leadership.” Between fights, Lofton worked as contractor for one of his sponsors, a local roofing company. He enjoyed a six-year MMA career and was recognized as one of the top light heavy-weight fighters in the world. Upon his retirement Lofton decided to start Texas Home Design in Austin. What initially began in 2008 as light interior construction projects for apartment complexes and roofing jobs quickly evolved into custom home subcontracting, commercial and multifamily renovations and eventually ground-up construction. Ten years later Texas Home Design is now THD Partners, LLC, with separate divisions for construction and roofing and more than 250 technicians working on projects across the state. Lofton has been recognized as an expert in commercial and multifamily construction and takes pride in the business and financial network he has built over the course of his career. As the founder of Property Halo Development, Lofton has assembled a team of well-respected industry professionals to develop commercial real estate in the major Texas markets. To date, he has been directly involved with over $275 million of new construction and re-positioning of commercial, multifamily and medical facilities. Lofton gives back to his local community by donating his time, treasure and talents to Roy Maas Youth Academy and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
