All my family lives in the Valley, except Madeline, who lives in Austin. I live in the East Texas area now, to be closer to work.

Hope to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Would love to start on a project to improve San Benito. It has gone downhill since I've been gone. Miss the energy and commitment that used to be so abundant in our community when we were younger.
