In the heart of SaddleBrooke One, where everyday maintenance meets artistic alchemy, Manuel Parra and Jeff Egan, stalwart members of the Facilities Maintenance Team, are quietly shaping the community’s identity. Behind their roles as dedicated HOA employees, a rich tapestry of skills and passions unfolds, weaving together years of friendship and a shared commitment to craftsmanship.
Manuel Parra, the head of the Facilities Maintenance Team, brings a lifetime of expertise in fixing cars and a love for metalwork to his role. With a hands-on approach to maintenance, Manuel’s mechanical prowess extends beyond the routine tasks of the HOA, seeping into his personal interests. His knack for turning raw materials into functional art mirrors the very essence of the SaddleBrooke community he serves.
In contrast, Jeff Egan, a seasoned adventurer and zipline designer, joined the Facilities Maintenance Team three years ago. Drawing inspiration from his background in adventure course design, Jeff discovered a newfound passion for woodworking. His journey from the thrill-seeking world of ziplines to the intricate artistry of custom furniture is a testament to the diverse talents that converge within SaddleBrooke’s workforce.
Their friendship, rooted in more than 15 years of shared experiences, is the driving force behind their collaborative efforts, both within the HOA and their entrepreneurial venture, Terrazas Tables. Manuel and Jeff seamlessly blend their skills and interests, creating bespoke furniture that reflects their shared commitment to craftsmanship and community.
Manuel’s decade-long tenure and Jeff’s three years with the HOA have seen the duo working in tandem to ensure the community’s facilities remain not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Manuel’s steady hand and mechanical finesse complement Jeff’s creative vision, resulting in a dynamic partnership that has become an integral part of SaddleBrooke’s day-to-day life.
Recently, their joint efforts extended beyond the maintenance realm as they crafted a custom wall art piece for the RoadRunner Grill. Inspired by SaddleBrooke One’s logo, the piece marries Manuel’s metalwork skills with Jeff’s woodworking finesse, adding a touch of their combined artistry to a community staple.
As Manuel and Jeff continue to quietly shape the identity of SaddleBrooke, their story unfolds as a testament to the depth of talent within the community. Their dedication, both professionally and artistically, serves as an inspiration to their colleagues and a reminder that within the seemingly routine tasks of community maintenance, true artisans like Manuel Parra and Jeff Egan are quietly at work, infusing everyday spaces with a touch of their unique magic.
