Hello. My name is Aaron. I have been with the fort bend county parks department for a few years. I have been into sports my entire life and to be able to work at a facility where I can share it with the community is truly a blessing. I also enjoy video games, music, and movies.

Hello, I’m Michael Randle. I came to Fort Bend county in 1988 as a teacher/coach from Big Spring, Tx. where I grew up and also taught high school. I received my B.A. degree from Texas Lutheran College in Health, P.E., Art and Recreation and my Driver Education certification from UH. I retired from Fort Bend ISD in 2009 after 33 years of teaching/coaching. I have 3 adult children, Shauntee, Michael Jr., and Chelsea. I look forward to seeing all the parents, ex-students, athletes and residents of Fort bend.
