A fifteen-year resident of Lakehills, Texas, Mark brings with him a wealth of experience and a passion for serving the Bandera County community.

​Mark Miller grew up in a small farming community. During his childhood, he was an active participant in various sports, was a boy scout, and worked on his family’s farm. After graduation Mark joined the United States Navy.  His first tour was served in the Tonkin Gulf on the USS Bennington aircraft carrier {CVS-20} and his second tour was in-country in Vietnam.

Miller's professional journey spans over two decades at Ford Motor Company, where he served as an Automation Engineer. During his tenure, Mark played a pivotal role in designing and implementing multimillion-dollar control systems for automated equipment.

His expertise extended to managing contractor groups, overseeing equipment installations, and collaborating with budgeting teams to create comprehensive financial plans for control systems.

Not only did Mark excel in his professional endeavors, but he also pursued academic achievements. He earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from McKendree University and a master's degree in science from Eastern Kentucky University, highlighting his dedication to continuous learning and professional growth.​

After a distinguished career at Ford Motor Company, Mark retired in 2007. Subsequently, he found a new chapter in his life when he visited Texas at the invitation of his brother.

Four years after the passing of his first wife in 2005, Mark met and married his wife, Brenda, a twenty-three-year Bandera County resident and a native Texan. Their union took place in the Fall of 2010, and Mark discovered a profound connection to the Texas hill country, particularly Bandera County.

Mark's admiration for the area, its scenic beauty, and the warmth of its residents inspired him to make it his permanent home. He currently resides in Lakehills, near Medina Lake, with Brenda and her special needs brother. ​His dedication to family and community shines through in every aspect of his life.
