Meet Gary Henley

Gary Henley, GMB, CGB, CGR
President

Gary received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting in 1973 from the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. He then worked for several large corporations gaining experience in financial management, purchasing, scheduling and cost control. Prior to the incorporation of Henley Homes in 1985, Gary supervised the construction of nearly 80 homes in two years for Melton George Enterprises in San Antonio, Texas.

During the late nineties, Gary successfully completed the certification requirements to become Graduate Master Builder, Certified Graduate Builder and Certified Graduate Remodeler—a rare achievement to obtain all three. Find out more about Gary’s certifications here.

Gary enjoys a variety of interests. He is a participating member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Gary and his wife Lana travel the country for reenactments, memorial services and to conduct educational events. He serves as President of the Liberty Hill Public Library Board of Trustees and, when possible, Henley Homes participates in charitable events to assist others in need in the greater Austin area.

Gary admits, “I learned the love of building at the knee of one of the finest craftsmen I‘ve ever known, my father. His standards required that whatever the project, no matter how small or how large, it was done right the first time. His dedication to quality was always Lesson Number One,” an ideal Gary carries into his business today.
