About Gene Burrus

I began working alongside my father at Burrus Lumber Company, later known as Burrus Contractors Supply, in 1976. We grew the business from nine employees to 170, supplying building materials to contractors throughout the country, before selling it to The Home Depot in 2006.

Today, through Burrus Investments, I invest in real estate, oil and gas, private equity, and small businesses.

My interests are wide-ranging, and I especially enjoy learning about technology. I’m active in my church, love spending time with my family, and enjoy helping others.
