for Crystal Clear SUD Board
About Joseph

I am proud to be a native Texan, who has been privileged to call this great state my home! Originally from South Texas, I moved to San Antonio to attend UTSA. After graduating with a Bachelor's in Business Administration, I married my college sweetheart. She wanted to move to Central Texas, so here we are!

My wife and I have 2 boys, and plenty pets (whom the kids refer to as “other family members”!). We love our country life, where we have been blessed with wonderful neighbors, beautiful scenery, and nice place in the world for our children to grow up.

My wife and I manage a commercial vehicle and equipment sales and service business. Our business is located in Guadalupe County, in the Crystal Clear Special Utility District (CCSUD) service area. As such, I have first hand experience of the outrageously high water bills we have. I have first hand experience of how unpleasant it is to deal with CCSUD. I have first hand experience of all the “fees” they conjure up just to squeeze more money out of their (hostage) service area. Dealing with CCSUD has been exceptionally unpleasant… to put it politely.

I believe government offices should be there to gladly serve the people, in a pleasant, efficient, and cost- effective manner. It was not my wish to be on ANY government board, but when bureaucracy gets out of hand, its time for the citizens to step in and change the organization. To remind them they are there to serve the people… not the other way around!

So, I am respectfully asking for your vote. My goals as a Crystal Clear Special Utility District (CCSUD) board member are:

1. Stop the outrageous, frequent, water price increases!
2. Stop the outrageous increases in “impact fees”, and “etc.” fees!
3. Lower the monthly minimum charge on the water bill.
4. Improve customer service. CCSUD works for the people, not the other way around!
5. Encourage more citizens' input into CCSUD decisions.

Feel free to reach out to me. I will be happy to assist the customers in the CCSUD service area. I will be happy to listen to your suggestions.
