Hello! I’m Cassidy Lackey and I love all things Texas. While not a native Texan, I’ve been here for about 30 years, first arriving in 1991 to attend Baylor University.
I’m an entrepreneur and small business owner mostly focused on Texas Marimbas and Drone Pilots Media. I also serve as an elder at Cross Timbers Church and spend some of my free time working on permaculture and aquaponics at our Southlake Family Farm.
I’ve been fascinated with the pride Texans have in their wonderful state ever since I arrived here. In an effort to explore this phenomenon, I started TexasProud.com and the Texas Proud facebook page in 2012.
You can find out more about me and my entrepreneurial pursuits at CassidyLackey.com or LinkedIn.
