For the ninth year, we at Parker County Today have compiled our Social Bucket List with a lot of
help from our brilliant and loyal readers. This year’s list includes volunteers, artists, first respond-
ers, entrepreneurs, members of the medical field, a film producer, veterans, a belle and others who
have found their success in their own way. Enjoy!
Greg Hood —
Mayor of Springtown
20
When Greg isn’t busy being mayor, he
works for Tri-County Electric as a senior
designer, having worked there for 27 years.
He enjoys the job because “I have the
opportunity to meet people that are moving
to our area or wanting additional service.”
Most people don’t know that Greg’s family
goes back four generations in Springtown
and he has been married to his wife, Rita,
for 38 years. Greg’s favorite way to pay it
forward is to give a helping hand to some-
one in need. “It seems someone is always
doing kind things for me,” he explained. “A
friend of mine used to say to me, ‘Go out
and make the world a better place.’ I feel
if I have done that, then that would be, a
best day ever.” Greg would most like to be
remembered for being a faithful husband
that was honored by his family, friends, and
the community.
