He currently serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of The Parking REIT, a real estate investment trust where he works to acquire income-producing parking assets. Previously he was an executive with a parking company; before that, a natural gas fueling company.

On April 23, 2021, Huberty was arrested for driving under the influence in Montgomery County, after crashing his vehicle into another car and failing a sobriety test.[5] He later bonded out after the arrest and on the following day released an apology and said he would seek treatment for alcohol addiction.[6]
