Eschevaria I believe don't know which one though. Similar growing conditions to a Jade.

I believe is a portulaca of sorts

I sincerely appreciate the ideas & help! I'm trying to get better at snapping pictures of this stuff. Here are a few more of it -- note the interesting growth pattern where the branches touch the ground and head back up. It's been very low maintenance and is really happy in the shade. Eschevaria and portulaca seem close but I'm still not coming up with a match for whatever reason..

Can't remember what it is, but it grows in my brother's yard. Really thriving in the shade below a Japanese maple currently. It develops some nice color, too. This is the original plant, rooted from a cutting.

Sedum dendroideum or sedum praeltum. The two aRe very similar. Dendroideum has tiny glands around leaf margins gets more red. Both are sometimes called tree sedum, although it won't make much of a tree. Shrub sedum would be more accurate maybe 6 or 8 feet tall in time under ideal conditions.

Wow Todd I think you nailed it! S. praealtum seems to match mine as well as Greenman's. Would love to see this thing sprout yellow flowers someday. A huge thank you for the input from everyone. Just found a great resource as far as distinguishing the two:
