Secretary of the Board
I was born and raised in SW Texas and moved to Bastrop in 2010, then Tahitian Village in July 2011. I come from a ranching/oil field family and started my own career path at 18 in the Bar/Music/Promotions Industries. Before moving in Bastrop, I lived in a town of about 400 people so I understand the necessity of a community that cares about their homes, each other and works together to thrive. After many years of volunteering on the Road Committee for Tahitian I took the leap and ran for the office of BCWCID2. As our area continues to grow, I want to be a part of making sure we do so in a way that is responsible. And that we continue to preserve the uniqueness and charm that we all so much enjoy.
