Some people were simply born to build, which seems to be the case for Spencer Powell, co-owner of DJS Resources, a San Antonio-based commercial construction company. 

The Mississippi native and Ole Miss grad lived much of his childhood in San Antonio. He returned to Texas after college to start his career and set down roots. 

HOA management was where he thrived, and by 2018, his life was expanding in profound ways—a child with his wife, Jesse, and a new HOA management business of his very own, Alamo Management Group (AMG). 

“I ran AMG for 8 years. In that time, I grew it to 265 HOAs—over 62,000 doors—and 100 employees,” he told us. But he wasn’t done building his vision. While running AMG, Powell started a new venture, DJS Resources, with Justin Diaz and Bridger Acker. 

“I met Justin on a job site 10 years ago. We became friends and worked together on numerous projects,” Powell said. “Once I got the company going, he was the obvious addition due to experience in the specific industry.”With Acker’s background in commercial construction and as a custom home builder, he was another serendipitous addition to the leadership team, Powell recalled. “The expertise from each of us combined brought the entire vision together.” 

Powell had originally planned to run both companies simultaneously, but a generous offer for AMG prompted him to sell and focus on DJS, which was rapidly growing itself. In fact, he told us, it’s doubled in size year over year for the past three years. “We started building commercial buildings and spec homes for ourselves in addition to building amenity centers, playgrounds, rec centers, walking trails, parks, dog parks, pools, and more for HOAs,” he explained.

Once Bankler Partners hit his radar, he was “very grateful they did!” In addition to helping mitigate unnecessary taxes, he told us Bankler Partners has been a critical guiding force in the back office. “The Bankler Partners team introduced me to bookkeepers who helped train my comptroller, get my books for business up-to-date, and introduce better processes,” he said. And if his track record is any indication, Spencer Powell is far from finished building what comes next.
