Community & Family
Raised in Texas close to my great-grandmothers, I grew up on stories of service: ancestors who stood at the Alamo and in the nation’s early wars, a great-grandfather who governed Texas, his son who served thirty years in Congress, and a grandfather who was a general in the Air Force. Those stories taught me that our freedoms are a gift, kept by people who show up.
As a Boy Scout I learned to respect the land and make good use of what we are given. Catholic, Methodist, and Baptist churches gave me a simple moral compass: honor other people. A flood taught me to give when neighbors are in need. Since then I have worked to renew a community, preserve its heritage, and build the relationships that make good work possible. From my mother I carry the rest—discernment, perspective, and the quiet will to do better for myself and others, with determination, creativity, humility, integrity and love.
