Hi, I’m Ben Sigmund, and my wife (Ashley) and I moved to Rocky Creek Estates in the middle of 2015.  Ashley is a teacher at Roberts Road Elementary School, and I’m the Software Engineering Director at AmRisc LLC, a subsidiary of Truist Financial Corporation.  We’re active members of local church start-up, Church Story (Cypress, TX), and we frequently volunteer at Community of Faith (Hockley, TX) and in the Williams Syndrome Association’s STX Region.  After 8 years of living in RCE, I would say we continue to love living here as much as we did on the first day that we moved in – it just feels better than a ‘regular neighborhood’!  Over the years, one of the things I’ve enjoyed most about watching our community grow, is how we’ve generally stayed ‘fit for purpose’ – focusing on what the majority agree is necessary change, while preserving some of the things that make RCE better than any other neighborhood I’ve lived in.  I believe our needs, as a community, were more limited in the earlier days, but as those demands have grown [with the local economy, broader scope of stakeholders, etc..], so too has our approach and scale with respect to community affairs – and to me, that trend is in line with what I would expect.  I’ve spent more than 24 years leading people and helping organizations figure out the right problems to solve, and if I’m elected, I will draw on that experience with a level head and a lack of tolerance for politics – I will simply vote for and speak to what I believe is the right thing to do in each situation, and then I’ll respect the decisions that are made in accordance with our bylaws (be that by property owner vote or board decision).  If you feel like you and I would agree on more than we don’t, then I’d sure appreciate your vote!
