Hello Rambling Ridge Neighbors!  

Hello Rambling Ridge Neighbors!  

After our October 2021 Annual Meeting, we were still looking for replacements for our outgoing board and thankfully, we received candidates and an online election survey was sent to current/paid HOA members to vote and the results are in!  As most of you know, our HOA is governed by a board of volunteer directors and we are grateful to have neighbors who are willing to help oversee our community!   

A big thank you to our outgoing President, Cindy Lutz!  Also applause for our outgoing secretary, Matt Heller and Robert Freehill, outgoing at large board member.   We appreciate your service over the last few terms. 

Meet your new HOA Board for 2021/2022

President, Roy Smithers 

I am an attorney having graduated from the University of Texas at Austin Law School in 1969.  After graduating, I became a Special Agent of the FBI, serving in Salt Lake City and Kansas City.  After three years I left the Bureau to return to Austin, working first for the Texas Governor’s Office, then the Texas Attorney General.  I left government work after about ten years of service and entered into private practice. Currently, I am semi-retired, ceasing to handle lawsuits and just doing transactional law—wills, probates and contracts.  I have volunteered for the last forty years with local, regional and national youth soccer associations.  I am currently the chair for the South Texas Youth Soccer Rules Committee and the chair of the U.S. Youth Soccer Bylaws and Policies Committee and the Hall of Fame Committee.  I enjoy watching soccer, have attended three World Cups and am a fan of the newly created MLS Austin FC team.  I am married to my wife, Cheryl, for the last fifty-one years and we have three sons, Austin, Aaron and Adam and a new five-month old grandson, Shepard.

Vice President, Cathy Shanks

Hi, neighbors!  I have lived here in Rambling Ridge for 6 years with my husband, Matt.   Before living here, we dreamt of fresh air in the mountains, nature all around us and a community just like this one… and here we are!  I work from home full time in the craft industry for 20 years and in my spare time, I’m a genealogy nut!  I love to learn about history, including our area here. I am looking forward to serving the board and Rambling Ridgle community.

Member at Large, Kris Frey
