Jay was born, raised and currently lives in Laredo, Texas, where his family has resided since the 1860s. He has earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a two-year wildlife management degree and is fluent in Spanish. He is a wildlife enthusiast with over two decades of field experience in Texas wildlife management, habitat management, wildlife breeding, game capture, and hunting operations. Jay is a trusted consultant to new and longtime landowners and managers statewide. Growing up he always knew land and wildlife were to be the career path he was to pursue, so he volunteered at ranches near his home in southern Texas to learn the craft of the land and wildlife management alongside private land biologists. Fascinated by Africa with its diverse wildlife, Jay’s adventurous spirit first led him to the African continent in the year of 1999. Since that first season, he has been traveling to various African countries every year since. His years of international experience often give him an edge on the norm and a view from outside the box. Jay greatly believes in giving back to his community and sits on various boards and committees including but not limited to Dallas Safari Club- South Texas, Trinity Oaks Foundation, International Professional Hunters Association and the Laredo Chamber of Commerce’s Cola Blanca Contest.

The Circle S Ranch is a beautiful, low-fence property. It is extremely well located in Comal County, a mere five miles from downtown New Braunfels. The ranch is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of big-city living, being just 55 miles from downtown Austin and 25 miles from San Antonio.
The property is the perfect package. It comes with a newly renovated three-bedroom and two full-bath home. All rooms come with outstanding views where you can enjoy sunrises/sunsets, wildlife, and landscape vistas. Not to mention relaxing at one of the outdoor lounge areas or poolside soaking in country living. The surrounding rock wall garden and rock used to build the home mostly came from the property. A stunning beach entry pool is the backyard centerpiece. Adjacent to the pool, the BBQ area is also a commonly used attraction where spring and summer cookouts are commonplace with family and friends. Additionally, when the house is just not enough, there is a cozy cabin away from the main house amongst the immense oak trees scattered throughout.
The land is traversable by truck or side by side, with an improved entrance road for easy ingress and egress. A vast number of bird species, along with whitetail deer, can be seen daily. Cleared of cedar, the ranch is productive, growing native grasses that are grazed once a year to ensure the health of the habitat and enjoy the standard agricultural tax deduction.
