I created How Big Is Texas as a hobby in 2020. It is a platform for my Texas experiences and the hidden gems I have discovered in my travels. As an “invisible creator,” I put community first. I create narratives that inspire.

About Me
With more than 30 years of experience in the travel and tourism industry, I've built a career helping communities thrive and championing tourism as a key driver of economic development. For nearly 20 of those years, I've specialized in destination marketing, crafting strategies that connect places with travelers. In 2020, I launched How Big Is Texas. What started as a hobby has grown into a storytelling platform where I showcase authentic experiences, hidden gems, and the cultural richness that makes Texas destinations unforgettable. Through my social posts, photography, and evergreen content as the “invisible creator,” I put the community and business first. I understand how to create narratives that resonate and inspire action. I recently launched How Big Is the USA to expand my industry knowledge to a broader audience.

I recently wrote about my experience in Georgetown, Texas, the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas. Here's a link to my experience. https://howbigistexas.com/2026/05/14/georgetown-texas-a-guide-to-the-town-square-and-beyond/ I also drove Route 66 in April and took my 84-year-old aunt along. It was a joy to drive the Mother Road as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.
