About the Mayor

Tim Handren was born at Amarillo Air Force Base and grew up in Lubbock, Texas. After attending Texas Tech for 2 years, he was recruited by USAA and moved to San Antonio in 1986. While there, he completed his degree in Computer Science at St. Mary's University, graduating Cum Laude. Tim spent 21 years at USAA, ending his career as the Chief Operating Officer. In 2010, he partnered with a business colleague and started a brand new company, focused on building jobs in the San Antonio Area. The small business grew to 800 employees over the next 5 years and was bought by a large international company in 2016. Those business experiences have given him deep understanding of both large and small companies, and have prepared him to share his strategic planning skills and the ability to execute those plans with the great city of Boerne. Having also served on many not-for-profit Boards, Tim is passionate about maintaining cohesiveness between business and community.

Tim and his wife, Anne, have lived in the Boerne area since 1999 and simply love the charm and feel of this historic area. Both love the outdoors and spend time jogging/walking the beautiful trails we have, as well as looking for more birds to add to Tim's life list. With a wide variety of hobbies and interests, Tim and Anne continue to explore activities and gatherings in Boerne, and look forward to meeting new people and experiencing new things. All of these wonderful life experiences will continue to contribute to Tim's passion and dedication as Boerne's mayor.

Tim Handren was elected Mayor to the City of Boerne, Texas, a Home Rule City, as of May, 2019.
