Their dedication and service to Kinkaid’s alumni are greatly appreciated. The following alumni have been elected to take the vacated positions: Brian Dinerstein ’95 entered Kinkaid in Pre-Kindergarten and graduated in 1995. Brian graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Political Science and Business Administration in 1999. Brian serves as president of The Dinerstein Companies (TDC), a national construction and development firm that specializes in student housing and infill apartment communities. Specific to Houston, TDC currently has developments underway in Highland Village, the Galleria and the Woodlands Town Center. Brian serves on the National Multi Housing Council’s Board of Directors, the Urban Land Institute’s Multifamily Blue Council and is a member of the Young Presidents’ Organization. Brian and his wife, Liz, have two children, Molly (age six and in Kindergarten at Kinkaid) and Billy (age two). Brian and Liz enjoy participating in all of Molly’s Kinkaid activities and last year served as the Pre-Kindergarten class captain of the Annual Fund. Vianei Lopez Braun ’85 entered Kinkaid in the second grade and graduated in 1985 as Kinkaid’s first Presidential Scholar. While at Kinkaid, she was active in theater, dance, debate and field hockey. Vianei graduated from Princeton University in 1988 as the youngest female graduate in Princeton history, and received her J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law in 1991. She started her legal career at Bracewell & Patterson (now Bracewell & Giuliani) and is now a partner with Buck Keenan LLP. Vianei was honored as Kinkaid’s Distinguished Young Alumna in 1997, and she has been recognized as a Texas Monthly “Super Lawyer” in Labor & Employment Law every year since 1993. Vianei serves on the Board of Directors of Goodwill Industries of Houston, and she is married to fellow attorney Jason Braun.
