Mike has lived in Lavaca since 2007, and is one of the original ‘pioneers’ who bought a town home in Artisan Park — formerly the site of the Victoria Courts. He remembers getting lost inside the Courts in the 90′s when looking to park for a Spurs game at the Alamodome. At the time, Mike felt it was an intimidating place, with no apparent exit!
Mike was born in Findlay, Ohio, but his father (an accountant) was always seeking better job opportunities, so the family moved around a lot. For example, he started high school in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, transferred to Greece, New York, and graduated from Denton High School in north Texas. He earned a B.A. in English from the University of North Texas and a M.A. in English at the University of Texas in Austin. Continue reading

Lily and Roland bought the Brackenridge House Bed & Breakfast in the King William neighborhood in January of 2011, and have been living there since.
A San Antonio native, Roland is a self-employed locksmith with 27 years of experience. He was born and raised in San Antonio and has lived here his entire life. Like so many San Antonio natives, he has been a die-hard Spurs fan since childhood. His other interests include fishing, walking and bird-watching (in fact, every room in the Brackenridge House is named after a bird!). When he is not doing handy-work in the B&B (or locksmith work), you’ll often find him walking along the San Antonio river, watching the Spurs, or feeding the birds. Continue reading

Jane grew up on the north shore of Long Island, about 25 miles east of New York City. Right after high school, she left the NY area to go to college in Lexington Kentucky, but moved back to NY after school and worked in Manhattan for a few years.

Although she studied social work, Jane’s career has been in the business world — specifically in applying technology to the practice of law. Today, she owns her own small consulting and products company with her business partner and friend, Jim Feuerstein. Continue reading
