Bruce Bernhardt Byron

Upon graduating from RHS, I joined the Navy ROTC Program at the University of Texas and spent four great years on ships in the Western Pacific and on the Atlantic Coast. Intent on being a city manager, I returned to Texas to attend the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and was introduced to my wife by classmate Jeff Harkinson on his only successful blind date setup. I worked in city management in Plainview and Sugar Land, TX. I then explored, on purpose or by happenstance, various jobs in the public, private and non-profit sectors. I have been blessed with a fine family and had the opportunity to develop land, consult in finance and infrastructure and manage the Capital Area Transportation Coalition, a business association supporting regional mobility. As a swan song, I coordinated public involvement for the Austin District of the Texas Department of Transportation until retiring in 2021.
