Dick Milstead

CEO
Mr. Milstead was born in Lufkin, TX in 1943. After a short stay in Lufkin and Houston, his family moved to a small community outside of Franklin, TX where he would remain until graduating high school. Upon graduation, Mr. Milstead moved to Houston and in 1971 opened what is now known as Milstead Automotive. Growing up on a ranch, Mr. Milstead learned at an early age the value of a hard day’s work and what it meant to be honest and have integrity. The lessons learned carried over with him when he began Milstead and have been ingrained into his management and employees. Mr. Milstead is very involved with all aspects of the business and can be found on most weekends at his ranch where he was raised.

Amy Milstead
President
Amy Milstead was born into the business and has been active in the daily activities since she was a small child. Due to her father’s upbringing, Amy was required to put in her dues so to speak so she started with the entry level jobs and worked her way to the top. Now, Amy’s responsibilities encompass all administrative services for all of the Milstead Companies.

Her commitment to the community is reflected in a variety of ways including participation as a member of the Board of Directors for Montgomery County Youth Services, Texas Towing & Storage Association, Texas Department of License and Regulations, and as a former Board member for the South County Woodlands Chamber of Commerce. Amy is known in the community and has always been willing to lend a helping hand.
