Robert approaches real estate with a strategic eye and a deep sense of responsibility. His background in the oil and gas industry trained him to evaluate complex assets, manage high-stakes capital, and think several moves ahead—skills he now applies to the acquisition, planning, and execution of real estate projects.

What sets Robert apart isn’t just technical competence—it’s conviction. He believes development should serve families and strengthen communities, not just produce returns. Together with his wife, Carol Coury Hefner, whose real estate roots run deep as the daughter of longtime Oklahoma developer Sam Coury, Robert has embraced a multi-generational approach to development: honoring what came before while building what’s next.

He sees Catalyst as a way to align capital with deeper meaning—to give investors a seat at the table in shaping places that matter.
