Commissioner, Precinct 1
Elected in 2024, I continue to use my experience to join fellow Commissioners in addressing the challenges related to the growth in Comal County. We are blessed to have a great home in Canyon Lake where I live with my wife and daughter. My three sons are in various levels of collegiate studies seeking productive careers. I continue to be very active in the community through church and non-profit organizations. I recharge by enjoying my family, the lake, river and outdoor activities throughout the surrounding areas whenever possible.
