Rick Overholt: Vice President
I am a full-time HSB resident since January 2021. Before moving here after my wife Kathy and I retired, we were part-time residents for two years. I am a US ARMY Veteran. I received an Honorable Discharge and achieved the rank of Sergeant. I graduated with Honors from Lone Star College with Associates Degree in Business. I was founder and CEO for OMNI Fire and Security in for 34 years, and grew the business from one employee, to one of the Houston 100 fastest growing private companies - and also became one of the 100 largest alarm companies in the US in 2020. OMNI provides commercial, light industrial, and residential fire and security systems and works with Fire Marshals in 35 jurisdictions. I served with two POA’s in Houston, The Hidden Valley Civic Club and the Olde Oaks HOA. I'm currently attending the HSB Citizens Academy to have a better understanding of the City’s inner workings.
I now want to contribute my time and my experience to help my neighbors. I think we can make property ownership in HSB a better experience by streamlining some of the processes. I also believe there is room for improvement in clarifying the requirements for making updates to our property. My hobbies are hiking, biking and gardening. I'm an active member of the Hill Country Trekkers. I have hiked or climbed the highest peak in every US state except Alaska. Kathy and I have enjoyed meeting so many of our neighbors and love the closeness and friendliness that exists in Horseshoe Bay. I promise to work just as determinedly for my neighbors in HSB as I did while building my business and climbing mountains!
