Lisa is an independent consultant, a connector of neighbors, and the woman who looked at Glen Rose, Walnut Springs, and Meridian and said: this is the Front Porch to the Hill Country.
Lisa founded Texas Hill Country Connection on a conviction that hasn’t wavered: real business relationships are built in person, not through cold calls or algorithms. She helps small businesses get seen through genuine, face-to-face outreach — the kind where you look someone in the eye, shake their hand, and mean what you say.
She refers business to business. She creates and disperses marketing materials. She offers ad packages that carry local businesses further across the community. And she does all of it while maintaining a Texas Front Porch ambience on Facebook — sharing, connecting, and celebrating the businesses that make this corner of Texas worth knowing.
Every Monday, the coffee is poured on the porch. It’s a simple ritual that says what Lisa has always believed: this place, these people, and these businesses deserve a community that shows up for them.
Lisa’s background is in education and sales — two fields where listening well, explaining things clearly, and earning trust still happen face to face. She’s a world traveler who has taken part in international mission work, served as a Red Cross volunteer, and brought that same spirit of showing up for people into the Hill Country.
She is the author of the children’s book Jameson and the Missing Fledglings. Her family is rooted in Fort Worth, Glen Rose, and Meridian, and they love spending time in the newly refreshed shops and restaurants in Walnut Springs — the kind of local places she wants every neighbor-owned business to be known for.
Say HelloThe Hill Country doesn’t start all at once. It begins right here — in Glen Rose, in Walnut Springs, in Meridian — where the land opens up and neighbors still wave from the porch. Lisa looked at this stretch of Texas and gave it the name it always deserved: The Front Porch to the Hill Country.
A front porch isn’t a lobby. It isn’t a waiting room. It’s the place where conversations happen honestly, where neighbors are introduced, and where community is made without an agenda. That’s what THCC is building — from the ground up, one handshake at a time, in Glen Rose, Walnut Springs, Meridian, and beyond.
It started as a simple ritual and became a weekly gathering point for a community. Every Monday, Lisa posts the “coffee is poured on the porch” moment on Facebook — an open invitation for neighbors to connect, share, and start the week together.
It’s not a campaign. It’s a habit. And habits are how communities are built.
