#TeamRoughCreek 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 last blog highlighting Tanner Morgan and Teka Paul here. This week, we are excited to shine a spotlight on our highly dedicated and essential team members Paul Boccafogli and Julie Davidson.
Paul Boccofogli was originally born in New Jersey, but has lived in Texas for 40 years. As the General Manager of Rough Creek Lodge, he spends 50 % of his time in his office answering emails, following up on challenges, training, directing, guest interactions, and executing Rough Creek’s business plan. The other 50% of his time is spent on employee relations. He lives only 4 miles from Rough Creek, and considers himself the luckiest man alive thanks to his job, the people he works with, and the guests who visit the Lodge.
