Meet our current HOA Board of Directors for 2024/2025

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, Darrell Burnett

I came to the mountains to lose my mind and find my soul.  I’m so happy to be here in this awesome neighborhood.

Treasurer, Chris Frey

Kristine and I moved from SE Michigan during the fall of 2018 to our home here on  Eagle Rock Trail. After a stint in the Air Force where I received the GI Bill, I obtained my BA and MBA. I then  worked for and retired from Ford Motor Company after 33 years, primarily creating, managing and terminating automotive related insurance programs. You can frequently find me taking nearly daily walks around the neighborhood when we aren’t walking in local parks and trails. I am a passionate homebrewer and mead (honey wine) maker, a hobby I started back in the mid-90’s. Kris and I enjoy working in our garden and visiting thrift and antique stores for unique and fun items to repurpose or resell. 

Secretary, Linda Heller

Hi, neighbors!  I have lived here in Rambling Ridge for 7 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. 

At Large Cathy Shanks
