My Journey in Publishing — Solving a Need in Hays County

Publishing has always been more than a profession for me — it’s been a way to connect people, tell stories that matter, and shine a spotlight on the businesses and individuals that make a community thrive.

For more than six years, I had the privilege of owning and publishing magazines in two incredible places — Bozeman, Montana, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Both communities taught me the same lesson: when a publication is rooted in storytelling, supported by beautiful photography, and dedicated to elevating its community, it becomes more than a magazine. It becomes a bridge — between businesses and residents, between neighbors and leaders, between stories waiting to be told and the people eager to hear them.

Now, I’m bringing that same philosophy to Hays County.

Buda and Kyle are growing rapidly, filled with homeowners who care deeply about their homes, families, and communities. But while the growth has been exciting, one thing is missing: a publication that feels aspirational yet approachable — something that truly reflects the spirit, style, and energy of the people who live here.

That’s where Hays City Lifestyle comes in. Launching December 2025, our publication will combine:

Luxury print design delivered directly into the hands of homeowners.
Editorial features that unearth the stories behind the businesses and people shaping Hays County.
Stunning photography that captures the beauty and spirit of our community.
Digital and social engagement to extend those stories far beyond the page.
Intentional Networking Opportunities and Connections

Why does Hays County need this now? Because in a fast-growing area, visibility and connection matter more than ever. Local businesses deserve a platform that doesn’t just advertise them, but celebrates them. Residents deserve a magazine that reflects their lifestyle and connects them more deeply to where they live.
