How did you get into your field?  

I grew up an avid outdoorsman, ultimately resulting in me starting my own small outfitter business. When I was presented the opportunity to come to Cordillera Ranch, I took the job without hesitation.

How long have you been with Cordillera Ranch? 

6 months

What do you like the most about working at Cordillera Ranch? 

I don’t believe I could narrow it down to one thing, but if I had to it would be the members. They have been extremely accepting and welcoming.

What has been your greatest challenge in your business? 

It is probably the slow times. We sometimes go a few days without members enjoying the outdoor recreation amenities on the ranch and I often wonder, “What are all these people doing instead of enjoying the great outdoors with us?”

What has been your most rewarding experience in your business?  

Getting to show people the rivers and woods; teaching people how to do something I love and watching them grow to love the outdoors as well.

What is your favorite aspect of working/living in the Hill Country? 

I love that you can round any corner and find a small fishing hole or see an amazing amount of grazing deer. The people here are great as well.

What are your hobbies/interests? 

Fly fishing, hunting, kayaking; anything outdoors.

What’s your favorite sport? 

Golf

Favorite sporting event you’ve attended? 

Colonial PGA event in Ft. Worth

Favorite quote? 

“Live a life you don’t need a vacation from.”

Favorite movie and why? 

Almost Heroes. Chris Farley was one of the funniest people alive during this movie. You’ll just have to watch it.

Anything else that you would like to share about yourself? 

I love to play the guitar and sing with my beautiful wife who is a world-class fiddler.

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. 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!
