President & CEO Sam Houston
Vice president & CFO Spring Houston
After binge watching the latest season of House of Cards on Netflix recently , Sam and I looked at each other and in unison said , “ That ’ s who we need to feature in the magazine !” No , we weren ’ t talking about Kevin Spacey , we were referring to Robin Wright , whose character , Claire Underwood ( spoiler alert ), becomes the first woman president at the end of the fifth season of the political drama .
The role of the scheming and manipulative Claire is a juicy one and allows Wright the freedom to showcase her sizable acting chops . At 51 , Wright is finally getting the attention she deserves . And , guess what , she ’ s more vibrant than ever and , if her latest role in the recently released Blade Runner 2049 is any indication , she ’ s only getting better . She ’ s equally passionate about her philanthropic work . The Dallas native has worked with The Gordie Foundation in Texas , which provides young people with the skills needed to navigate away from drug and alcohol addiction . She ’ s also an activist for human rights in the Democratic Republic of Congo . We catch up with this dynamic , multifaceted actress inside to find out her secret to living well .
Speaking of living well , Dr . Stephen P . Courtney is helping people suffering from neck and back disorders . Dr . Courtney and his team share a passion for excellence and work together to provide just that . He ’ s known for his straightforward , honest approach , which puts his patients at ease , trusting him to perform highly technical operations that will help them restore their quality of life . Read about his revolutionary approach to medicine in this issue .
Inside you ’ ll also find a wealth of additional information on how to lead a better life . As always , we tip our hats to the community professionals that share their expertise with our readers . Their contributions are greatly appreciated .
Sincerely ,
Sam and Spring Houston
