My wife Ela and I have owned lot #227 since 2003. We haven't lived at the ranch yet but have visited multiple times and enjoy the serene and quietness. My last career employment was with the TXDOT designing and inspecting roadway construction (2021-24) as a Transportation Engineer. Prior to this I was with the (2008-2021) NAVY moving around the Country and Overseas as an Environmental Engineer overseeing water and waste water operations. My first Engineering job was as a staff Civil Engineer with Suffolk County Water Authority (1981-2008). I served in the USMC and have several years working in construction prior to my Engineering career. Now in retirement while still young and healthy enough I want to get to know more of my neighbors and keep up with what is happening at the Ranch. My first project is putting up a cattle fence around my property.
