I have been with the gardens as an employee for three years, first serving as Marketing Director and now as Director.

We have three fantastic children--Clark and his wife Jessica who live in Atlanta and is a professional equestrian three day event rider, Travis and his fiance Audrey who will be moving to San Angelo to open a Chicken Express and Molly, our youngest who lives in NYC and is an actor. We are very blessed.
