What past work history prepared you for The Clubs?

I was in a management position at The Club at Sonterra which provided me the opportunity to work for a club where many of the members became like family. I was able to develop professionally from the experience, but I also developed socially from the kind and wonderful members. Working within a community of members and staff on a close level has helped me more than I could have possibly imagined.

What do you like most about working at Cordillera Ranch?

The Texas Hill Country, the community atmosphere and the members are amazing. From the staff to the residents, Cordillera provides a sense of freedom and peace.

Can you share your favorite experience so far at the Clubs?

It was a Saturday morning and I was walking into my office when Mrs. Spitsnaugle approached me and complimented me on service that she and Mr. Spitsnaugle had received on our Friday Signature night. Mrs. Spitsnaugle told me it had been a while since they had been in and they noticed the change in atmosphere, and welcomed me as part of the Clubs’ management team.

What makes your colleagues an asset to The Clubs?

My colleagues have a high level of respect for one another, and the leadership team is great, welcoming me with open arms. Providing excellent service and fulfilling member service needs is the highest priority for my team. I will continue to listen to our valued members and focus on retaining the best and brightest employees to sustain this momentum.

What has been your most rewarding professional experience?

This! The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch giving me an opportunity to join their team as the Food & Beverage Manager.

What has been your greatest professional challenge?

Finding balance. When choosing Food & Beverage management as a profession, you tend to find yourself working long hours. It’s a job chosen for the love of the service industry.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Living a healthy lifestyle — I love spending time with my family and friends, enjoying the outdoors, fishing, camping, hiking and taking my jeep off-roading. I’m a BIG fan of fresh water fishing. Any free time I can get, I will try and hit the waters for some bass or trout fishing.

What is your favorite holiday tradition?

Christmas is my favorite holiday and my traditions include the decorations, family time, food, holiday movies and enjoying the cold weather. I find myself looking forward to this season every year.

If I could hop on a plane tomorrow:

I would fly out to Ireland. I would love to be able to experience the jaw-dropping natural landscapes, green rolling hills, rugged seaside cliffs and the music and festivals.

I’m really excited about:

My new chapter in life that 2020 has given me here at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch.

Birding in Cordillera Ranch

Bird watching can be a joyful experience. The sounds of birds frolicking outside your Cordillera Ranch home can be a great addition to your garden and landscape. Bird feeders are the quickest and easiest way to attract our winged friends to your yard. If you have ever visited the Outfitter Center at Cordillera Ranch, you’ll have no doubt about how much I enjoy feeding birds and having them around the entire year.

Manager's Message

Wow, what a time of year!

Spring never disappoints, with warmer weather, longer days and prettier everything, it’s easy to feel a sense of rejuvenation and rebirth during these splendid months. While we’re only a handful of months into the year, and there’s a feeling of a fresh start, it also feels as though some things are coming to conclusion.

Broadway Shines Bright: Spectacular Theatre Nights Begin at The Club

There’s nothing quite like the magic of Broadway — especially when it’s enjoyed with friends, great food and front-row seats. Our Club’s Broadway Night outings have become a beloved tradition, offering members an unforgettable evening of culture, camaraderie and convenience.

Golf

Play-A-Hole #7

The 7th hole at Cordillera Ranch is our second Par-3 that you will encounter and can look pretty daunting from the tee. The green slopes away from you and to the right while being guarded by a large bunker on the front/right side and a couple of bunkers on the left side. In case you thought long was safe … it’s not — there’s another bunker there, too!
