My name is Alyssa Burgin. I'm a fourth-generation San Antonian, fifth-generation Texan, married to another fifth-generation Texan, Louis Tanner, an IT consultant. I run a statewide issue advocacy organization focused on drought and climate change, and I spend a lot of time giving presentations, planning conferences and teaching classes for adult learners. I've owned my townhouse for almost eight years and soon it will be completely updated and remodeled. I have a stepdaughter in graduate school in London and four cats.
