The woman, the myth, the legend, the Foundation Repair Lady! Today’s #MembershipMonday feature is none other than Sonora Storm! Here’s a look into her journey:

🏡 Her start in homebuilding: After 15 years in staffing, a recruiter presented an opportunity selling cast stone fireplace surrounds.

👷‍♀️ GHBA: Sonora started with GHBA 10 years ago. She got involved because her employer was already a GHBA member and suggested she go to a meeting. The rest is history!

🤝 Volunteer Leadership Positions: CBC Board Member since 2022 & Social Media Chair in 5th year; RMC Board Member since 2023 & Membership Chair in 4th year; GHBA Membership Committee Member since 2016; 2023 Membership Committee Chair; 2022–2025 PWB Mentorship Committee Member

🏆 Awards: 2023 & 2024 GHBA Presidential Citation; 2024 & 2025 RMC Presidential Citation; 2022 & 2023 Spike of the Year

🌟 Other recognitions: 2024- 2026 Distinguished GHBA Member; Professional Builder Partner Certification (PBP)

💙 Volunteer work outside GHBA: Sonora has been a board member, Gala Planning Committee & Media Coordinator, Gala Show Runner, and Coordinator for Special Events for Katy Angels, which provides food and essentials to those in need

😎 Free time: “My favorite is being with my husband – especially prayer time in the morning and being lazy in the evening. I enjoy reading my Bible, deep conversations about Catholicism and politics, movies, being at home, eating ice cream and great food (but not the cooking part), and decorating my home. I love the Trinity, family, dogs, horses, and making others happy.”

🏠 GHBA’s impact: "GHBA perfectly paved the way to an incredible career and employer. In 2022, I had my eyes on becoming the next Spike of the Year, and Lincoln Jacob Construction was one of my recruits. Unintentionally, I joined their team within a month of them joining and eventually became The Foundation Repair Lady. I was ready to retire until Lincoln Jacob Construction. I’m now the biggest GHBA fan. GHBA taught me the art of correctly networking (although I thought I already knew) & the value of connections. The friendships made here are bar none."

💼 Favorite committee: “Membership – A wealth of knowledge to gain, off-the-charts camaraderie, and phenomenal leadership by Cynthia Fagan and seasoned vets like Debbie Paige, Greg Madrey, D’Ann Brown and Kathleen Stadler, to name a few.”

💚 Favorite volunteer project: "The RMC Annual Garage Sale! I get to be one of the first to shop the great home stuff, hang with my GHBA friends, and all the hard work yields thousands of dollars to be given to the community."

🗓️ Favorite event: “2023 PRISM – it was our first big sponsorship (title sponsor), and our office team was on stage; plus, Jake’s wife and I were escorted to the stage by a man in an astronaut uniform to hand out awards. It was a sentimental evening with a special moment captured by a photographer – it’s plastered in my office on a big canvas.”
