Two weeks ago, we introduced our #TeamRoughCreek initiative. This project was created so future homeowners could learn more about the wonderful staff at Rough Creek on a more personal level, as they share everything from fun facts about themselves to their favorite features of Rough Creek Lodge. If you missed it, read our blog highlighting Frank Alvarez and Chef Gerard Thompson here. This week, we are excited to shine a spotlight on Tanner Morgan and Teka Paul. Both Tanner and Teka are vital assets to the hunting operations at Rough Creek, which is especially exciting as we are just days away from Opening Weekend.

Originally from Stephenville, TX, Tanner Morgan is the Wildlife Department Manager at Rough Creek Lodge. He is one of the few employees who live on the ranch full time, and has the shortest commute—only 2 minutes! Tanner has proudly worked at Rough Creek for 7 years, and his favorite thing about his job is the freedom.
