About the Foundation

We both grew up in families where giving time and treasure was emphasized as a faith-based recognition of God’s gifts. When we had our three boys, we began volunteering with them at a young age, hoping to pass on this legacy of service and generosity. Over time, as a way to share in the learnings from our professional and charitable experiences, we chose to formalize our commitment to giving back by establishing our foundation in 2013.

Our community work has shaped our vision and mission, guiding how we operate and reinforcing our dedication to supporting our Central Texas community. Now that our sons are adults, we are delighted to have them join us in overseeing the work of the foundation. We look forward to someday handing the reigns over to them so that they and future generations may continue to enrich the legacy of service and giving that we have worked to build.
