“I am a conservationist concerned about sustainability and equity. I have worked as the founder and executive director for the Conservation History Association of Texas, as an environmental attorney for the Texas Air Control Board and various conservation non-profits, as co-owner and managing officer for Wray-Todd Ranch, L.L.C. and SWT Cattle, L.L.C., and as a donor, co-founder and trustee for conservation non-profits. Through the Conservation History Association of Texas, I am the co-author of two books about the history of conservation efforts in Texas. The first is The Texas Legacy Project – Stories of Courage and Conservation, based on over 250 video interviews with environmental activists in the state. The second book is The Texas Landscape Project – Nature and People and is a data-based atlas with over 300 maps and figures about natural resource and public health protection in Texas. Since 2019, I have been working on a third in the series titled, The Texas Fauna Project. With Wray-Todd Ranch and SWT Cattle, I co-manage a beef cattle operation dedicated to habitat protection and native prairie restoration in Colorado and Fayette County, in central Texas. These firms have twice won the Lone Star Land Steward award from Texas Parks and Wildlife. Outside of work, I help volunteer groups protect and restore natural resources in the state, and towards that, have worked as a grant maker through the Wray Charitable Trust, Magnolia Charitable Trust, and Chiltepin Charitable Fund, as a trustee for the Texas Conservation Alliance, Audubon Texas, Galveston Bay Foundation, Houston Arboretum and Botanical Society, and the Environmental Integrity Project, and as a co-founder of the Cullinan Park Conservancy and Blunn Creek Partnership.”
