The Principals

Two people. Every deal.

Red Dirt runs deliberately lean. The person who underwrites your parcel is the person who signs the contract — and the person who answers the phone.

David Brizendine

Principal — Development & Entitlement

Seventeen-plus years in real estate and land development. David leads entitlement strategy and the relationships that move projects — county planning departments, engineers, title officers, and the builder network that takes delivery of finished ground. He has guided transactions across Arizona from raw acreage to closing, deal after deal, cycle after cycle.

17+ years — real estate & land development
Leads — entitlement, county & title relationships, disposition
Network — planners, engineers, builders, capital partners

Nathan Mikesell

Principal — Acquisitions & Underwriting

Seven-plus years in Arizona land. Nathan sources and underwrites every acquisition the firm makes — and built the proprietary parcel-intelligence platform behind it, covering ownership, access, water, and distress signals on more than half a million parcels statewide. Data finds the deal; Nathan walks the dirt before the firm signs.

How We Operate

Small by design.

Twenty-four-plus combined years, one standard: nothing is delegated that decides a deal. The bench behind the principals — engineers, title, counsel, capital — is assembled per project, so every dollar works the dirt instead of the overhead.
