I am a retiree from Ford Motor Company and United Services Automobile Association (USAA). I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a BBA, Statistics major. I have lived in Bandera County for 35+ years on property that has grown to 13 acres. Obviously, I am an older fellow (I do not like the word “old”).

I have been accused of being an engineer, cowboy, carpenter, plumber, computer geek, and preacher. I am a husband, father, grandfather, and creator of what the family calls the Hults Homestead. While studying the history of Bandera I have learned that the settlers called the land we live on Oak Savanna. I am interested in managing the land in a way that is beneficial and natural. I spend most of my time outdoors being one of my alternate personalities of EL MANUAL, MOWERMAN, and/or WEEDWACKER MAN. Sometimes I just explore, discover, and appreciate the beautiful plants and critters that live here at the Hults Homestead.

To sum this all up, here is one of my favorite quotes: “God is great, beer is good, people are crazy” - Billy Currington.
