Dwight "Shotgun" Cook

In my early work history, I was an on-air personality at radio stations in Tampa, Miami, Chicago and Houston. In Houston, I went by the name of Shotgun Cook at KRBE – Doesn’t that sound “Texas”! I actually got the name from an uncle named Shotgun Cook, who built secret compartments in cars and trucks during Prohibition.

Later, I formed a production company called Sound Works and Vividmix with my wife Karen, who was the first female disco DJ in the USA. Karen is my sweetheart and best friend. While building the business, I broadened my audio career with studies in sound, acoustics, programming, accounting and business. 

Sound Works provides professional audio services for the TV, radio, feature film and advertising industries, as well as the legal profession. Sound Works pioneered the digital transmission of audio from Houston to other facilities worldwide. Sound Works also provides audio forensics legal services and I serve as an audio expert witness.

I have been a real estate professional and investor since 2005.  I became a Realtor® in 2016. I have the National Association of REALTORS® Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification, or SFR®, and the understanding to:

• Direct distressed sellers to finance, tax, and legal professionals
• Qualify sellers for short sales
• Develop a short-sale package
• Negotiate with lenders
• Tap into buyer demand
• Limit risk
• Protect buyers

Having the experience to buy, fix-up and hold property led me to become a licensed Realtor®.  I love real estate, it's a great way to build wealth. I attend many real estate investor meetings in the Houston area.  Look for me. Being a Realtor® with Equicap Brokerage LLC gives me the opportunity to help buyers and sellers with residential and commercial assets.

My other companies are:

• Vividmix.com which produces commercial video and website content - marketing through media.
• Retronuvo Media stirs up video shows for TV and cable networks. I am a partner in this venture with three others.

My passion is my faith, family, motorcycles, computer programming, the Internet, movies, books and music. I do love to help others and believe that "if you can sew into someone else’s life, you benefit as well."

I am a member of SPARS, NAR, TAR, HAR, and a Microsoft business partner.
