About

I started Blog Rockwall long before I ran for City Council. During my campaign it was redirected to www.glenfarris.com so I could see what my constituents were thinking. It is my intent to discuss issues, problems, events and any other topic of interest in this blog. Feel free to comment or to propose topics. Anyone can post to this blog but it will be moderated to keep it clean and suitable. If you have any questions you can contact me and I will get in touch with you. For more about me read below.

In 2002 when I completed the Leadership Rockwall program I knew I wanted to serve The Citizens of the City of Rockwall. After graduation I became the Chairman of the Leadership Rockwall Advisory Committee. It was my responsibility, along with other advisory members, to manage the program as well as serve as one of the Co-Chairmen to the next class of Leadership Rockwall candidates. Since that time I have had the privilege to be part of the program and be involved with every class. It is during this time that I have forged relationships with every leader from State Legislators to City government. I already have good working relationships with everyone including elected officials as well as city staff. I have prepared myself for this position since I came to Rockwall in 1999.
