How did you become employed at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch?

My good friend Barry Denton invited me to play golf in 2013. I was very impressed with the people, golf course and Club facilities. Barry introduced me to Marc DeWall and I was hooked! This is the place to be.

What past work history prepared you for The Clubs?

I have worked part time for the PGA Tour as a master golf club maker. I also have worked part time with TPC San Antonio and both golf courses at La Cantera. I enjoyed a very good career with Ford Motor Company and meeting so many great people.

What makes your colleagues an asset to The Clubs? Explain how you work together as a team.

We are a very “Member Focused” team. When a fellow employee sees a Cordillera member that needs our assistance, the entire team will help.  There are numerous times when team members from other departments will also step in and offer their support.

What has been your most rewarding professional experience?

Leading a Financial Services group of over 1,800 professionals while I was with Ford Motor Company. Also, working at the United Nations for four years representing Ford.

Maintaining a healthy balance between family and business.

Interacting with numerous Cordillera members and learning about them and their families.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Traveling around the world and learning about new cultures. I am a professional golf club maker and enjoy working for the Cordillera members and the PGA Tour. I also enjoy making golf clubs for disadvantaged children at the First Tee of San Antonio. I love visiting our family farm in East Tennessee, where we raise Arabian horses and Charolaise cattle.

Favorite quote or motto?

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.

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.

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.

In case you thought long was safe … it’s not — there’s another bunker there, too!
