Fred Crawford graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology. He started his career in land surveying, roaming the woods of the Texas Hill Country. As a Registered Professional Land Surveyor, he went to work for the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), a state agency that provides Central Texas with electric power, water, and community services.
After 15 years in Surveying, Fred shifted his career to manage LCRA’s 97,000 acres of real estate assets. During his tenure, Fred helped establish and managed the Colorado River Land Trust, a role that makes him a great fit for Mainspring’s mission.
Fred and his wife Maggie retired to a 14-acre farm in Whittier where they raise fruit, vegetables, chickens, and bees. When not on the farm, he enjoys hiking and white water kayaking.
