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.

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
