Cesar Aristeiguieta – New Candidate – Dr. Aristeiguieta is a passionate community volunteer holding numerous awards and distinctions.  He received the “Top Gun” award as the leading graduate of his police academy class. About 5 years ago after moving to Houston, “Dr. Cesar” started shooting sporting clays.  With his extensive experience in tactical pistols, rifles and shotguns, he loves the exhilaration of breaking tough targets; however, developing consistency in his game (maybe even perfection) is what keeps him coming back again and again to the game of sporting clays.  Dr. Aristeiguieta’s believes his extensive leadership and volunteer skills would be a compliment to the TSCA Board of Directors and its future growth.

Jane Edwards – New Candidate – An avid bird, small and big game hunter, Jane has also shot sporting clays for the last 30+ years.  She has experienced the thrill of “breaking the hard ones” and beating her personal best score as she became addicted to learning shooting tactics.  As a director for the American Cancer Society, the YMCA and her local Country Club, she has had a long successful career in sporting event planning, fundraising, membership and volunteer development in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.  Jane is ready to “roll-up her sleeves” and give back to the sport by getting involved with the TSCA.
