Director Bios
President
Sam McGee is current President of Texas Hill Country Mustang Club and the original organizer. His passion for mustangs goes back to 1990 when he and his Dad brought a 1966 hardtop home with lawn money earned over the summer. He is passionate about bringing youth into an aging national club, honoring the past, and truly enjoys the 1964.5-1973 classics and early 1990s fox bodies. When setting out the club he wanted to bind love of cars, social, and philanthropy. Sam and his family reside in Boerne TX where he volunteers as a fireman, little league coach, and Skywarn weather spotter.
VP - Secretary
Kelly Ross is the Secretary of the Texas Hill Country Mustang Club. His love of mustangs goes back to 1987 when he acquired his first 1965 fastback, and used the car to drive through the rocky mountains (in all weather conditions) while attending college, and duty with the Marine Corps reserve. He has had other 1965 mustangs, a hard top and a convertible, but only the convertible remains in possession today. He has been a member of mustang clubs in Arizona and Texas. Enjoys learning new things about these old cars, especially the early years, but also has a love for the fox body cars as well. He likes being around others with the same passion and memories that surrounds this hobby. Kelly and family live in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX where he works sales for a large IT company, and attending as many basketball games as possible with his high school son.
VP - Membership
Jim Ginger is the current membership director for the club and a passionate Mustang guy for 40+ years. His first memory of a Mustang was seeing a new 1969 Mach 1 in the Ford dealership in Shelbyville, Illinois. Ever since that first glimpse, he was hooked. Jim's first Mustang was a 1983 Mustang GT with T-Tops followed by a 1985.5 Jalapeno Red SVO. From there his family always had at least one newer Mustang as part of the family. Around 2003 Jim acquired his first "classic" Mustang which was ironically a white 1969 Mach 1 428 SCJ. That car was the first of many classics which currently includes several 1971 Mustangs and bosses and back to the 1980s with an SVO and Predator GT. Jim and his wife, Danette, live in Marble Falls, Texas and enjoy exploring the hill country and attending car events.

I was born and raised in New Braunfels in a Chevy family. I've had my share of Bowties...Vettes, square bodys, trucks, Camaros and a 56 Belair. My love of Mustangs started in 1988. I got my first Foxbody my Junior year of high school and have loved them ever since. I have owned 20+ Mustangs in those 35 years. I now own 2...a 1966 white Coupe and a 1988 red foxbody convertible. Sorry, but I do still own a SS Camaro also. I still live in New Braunfels with my wife, Rachel, and our pug KoKo. I have owned a local moving company for the last 30 years and still going strong.
club Treasurer
Fred was recently elected as Treasurer for the Club. His passion for cars and racing began in 1963 when his parents took him to a drag race at Aquasco Speedway in Aquasco, MD. It only took the first two competitors making their pass down the track and he became a lifetime a car guy! His first Mustang recollection was driving through Davidsonville, MD on a Sunday afternoon in May of 1964 when his dad pulled into the closed Ford Dealer with a one-car showroom. Inside the plate glass window 6 feet away from his nose pressed on the glass was the first Mustang delivered to the dealer on display. That memory will never fade! He has had several Mustangs through the years as daily drivers and combo weekend warrior cars. He is currently enjoying his 2024 GT Convertible that was just delivered from the Ford Flat Rock assembly plant. Fred lives in Meadowlakes, TX and is very enthusiastic about the potential of our Club. He is also looking forward to the wonderful philanthropy of the organization and excited about the membership growth we expect to achieve. fred@hillcountrytxmustangs.com
