Professional Bio
Charles Scott Burford, Sr. graduated from the University of Texas in 1975 with a BBA in Accounting and has built a distinguished career in financial markets spanning nearly five decades. He began at Republic Bank Dallas in 1976 trading treasury securities before moving into municipal bonds, later becoming Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Asset Management Group at MBank Dallas.
