Ginger Wheless – Founder/Publisher - Ginger grew up on a 600-acre ranch 30 miles west of Houston and has worked in commercial real estate her entire career, whether in research, appraisals, or marketing. Fifteen years ago she saw a need in the market for a consolidated database of commercial properties, so she launched REDNews. She has since grown the company from a Houston-only resource to cover all of Texas, and REDNews has come to be a trusted resource for commercial real estate news. She thrives on her work and says, “I can never imagine doing anything else.” But when she’s not hard at work, she’s hard at play, off to the mountains for hiking and biking, or exploring her interest in the design world.

Randy Tran – Chief Operations Officer – Randy has been with REDNews for over eight years and hails from Orangefield, TX, a tiny town of fewer than 1,000 residents on the Texas-Louisiana border. Officially, he is the chief operating officer; unofficially, he is the go-to guy for all things IT. When he’s not in the office taking care of tech trouble, he’s in the gym or heading to the mountains to snowboard.

Jonathan Nguyen – Research Manager – Jonathan is a jack-of-all-trades who hails from the town of Port Neches, TX. His official title at REDNews is research manager, but when he’s not in the office doing research, customer support, and marketing, among a profusion of other administrative tasks, you’ll likely find him in a movie theater or music venue. He has been with REDNews since 2002.

Brian Cook – Graphic Designer – Brian is a native Houstonian who has been the graphic designer at REDNews for more than two years. A self-professed computer nerd, he has always had an interest in computers and has been doing graphic design in some capacity—everything from basic desktop publishing to 3D animation—for the past 16 years. You’ll find his REDNews work in ads, magazine layout, and graphics throughout the print product and online.

Ray Hankamer – Contributing Writer – Hankamer & Associates and Southwest Hotel Management, has brokered land syndications, offfice buildings, hotels, apartments, retail centers, and farms & ranches in Texas, Colorado, Alabama, and Louisiana since 1967. As a major contributor to REDNews, he has made a name for himself as an astute reporter of pertinent CRE news. Ray, who is a voracious reader, also writes a monthly Restaurant Review and Travel Log.

Rosalie G. Keszler, CCIM – Contributing Editor-Austin – Rosalie is the principal and owner of her own consulting firm, Rosalie Keszler Consultants, working primarily with commercial real estate investors. She wears many hats in her roles with her clients, performing services related to commercial real estate such as financial analysis, due diligence/underwriting for acquisition or disposition, asset management, business development, marketing, relationship liaison, the list goes on and on. She is past-president for CREW Austin and a CCIM designee. Most recently she added ‘writer’ to her resume, now serving as a contributing editor for REDNews Magazine. If you don’t see her at any one of the many CRE organizational events in Central Texas, you might find her playing tennis, golf, or with her pets. Or you might see her speeding in her Mustang GT convertible on Bee Cave Road – or maybe you won’t.
