LEADERSHIP

 

GREG ALEXANDER

Investor Greg Alexander grew up sailing, snorkeling, reading, hiking, and landscaping, and helping his parents work on a series of fixer-uppers. In more recent years, frequent visits to Texas led him to San Jacinto County, which he found so beautiful that it sparked his big idea for San Jacinto Ranch. Greg spends considerable time on the property. The project has become multi-generational with his daughter Josie, who is now also working with SJR’s talented team to help make this vision a reality.

BO TAFF

Bo Taff is a 9th-generation Floridian whose family roots in the Sunshine State date back to the 1700s. He grew up along the pristine, estuarine waters of Florida's big bend and keeping watch over the family’s very small farm. He has worked as SVP of Planning for Foley Timber & Land, and as Florida’s Deputy Director of Tourism, Trade, and Economic Development under Governor Jeb Bush. Bo has been riding around looking at land with Greg since 2017.
