Top 40 Under 40

As a member of the Class of 1997 at Jackson Academy, Breck Hines was chosen as Most Likely to Succeed. Needless to say, his JA classmates were spot-on with their vote.

Today, Hines is executive vice president of Duckworth Realty. The University of Mississippi graduate also co-owns and operates an ice manufacturing and sales company in Oxford.

As a principal at Duckworth Realty, Hines’ responsibilities include managing acquisitions and the development arms of the business.

As a licensed real estate broker, he also represents select landlords and tenants, and has closed over $200 million in transactions in the last decade.

Hines attributes much of his success to his wife and their three children, who he says believed and trusted in him.

An active member of Christ United Methodist Church, Hines holds a third-class private pilot’s license and basks in the intellectual satisfaction that comes with flying.
