Objective
Experienced real estate and information technology professional and dedicated
community servant seeking a position on the Denton County Central Appraisal District
(DCAD) Board of Directors through which to be an advocate for the DCAD entities
ensuring that the DCAD meets its current and future mission and obligations to its
associated entities while staying true to its values of honesty, integrity, fairness, efficiency,
professionalism, and transparency.
Residential & Commercial Real Estate Experience
With over 10 years of experience as a Real Estate Advisor | REALTOR® in North Texas,
I help clients achieve their real estate goals by representing them through complex
residential real estate transactions, especially those involving divorce, loss of loved ones,
downsizing, major renovations, and first-time home purchases. For three years I also
provided commercial real estate services for locally headquartered corporate clients. This
experience gives me an appreciation for, and understanding of, the complexities of the
residential and commercial real estate markets in North Texas and the challenges and
opportunities they represent to, ISD and city leadership, and our citizens.
Information Technology Experience
Before choosing real estate as a career, I had a 35-year successful track record in
Information Technology in individual contributor through senior management roles
around process management, software asset management, and change management.
These career and life experiences allowed me to develop a strong analytical mindset, and
problem-solving and process improvement skillsets which would be invaluable to me as
a DCAD Board Member.
Community & Public Service Experience
For the last two years I have served on the Killian Middle School PTA Board and managed
the Killian Middle School PTA website.
As President and Director of the Castle Hills Water District 1D Board of Directors for six
years in a volunteer capacity, I worked closely with local leaders and the community to
help maintain the high quality of district services, to ensure the proper checks and
balances between the government and citizens, and to focus on quality of life for and
safety of our citizens, while at the same time ensuring that district costs were controlled,
and that the Castle Hills community cost of living and taxes were reasonable and in-line
2
with neighboring communities. A major part of this role was helping guide residents
through the annexation into the City of Lewisville.
In parallel, I served on the Castle Hills Annexation Advisory Committee, advising the
residents on annexation related activities and plans, and advising the city on resident
concerns during the annexation process.
I served on the LISD Advisory Board for two years, where I contributed my time and
talents to help shape the district’s educational goals and instructional programs.
I served as President and Director of the voluntary 500-home Chase Oaks Homeowners
Association in Plano for five years.
Youth Enrichment Experience
As Commissioner and Director of the Texas High School Lacrosse League for ten years, I
led a statewide organization of 169 non-UIL high school lacrosse teams with over 4,500
student-athletes, managing growth, eligibility, competition, and sportsmanship.
I served on the Dallas Rattlers Professional Lacrosse Team’s Youth Advisory Board for
two years encouraging the expansion of youth sports in North Texas.
North Texas Life Experience
As a 23-year resident and taxpayer in North Texas (Collin and Denton Counties), and as
managing conservator for my 12-year-old granddaughter who attends LISD schools, I
have gained an appreciation for the opportunities afforded by public schools in North
Texas and the challenges facing ISD administration, faculty, and students and their
families, and our cities and their leadership, in our ever evolving, dynamic North Texas
communities.

Rob Altman DCAD cover letter.pdf
Importance:High
Good Sunday to each of you.
My name is Rob Altman, and I am seeking your vote for the Denton Central Appraisal District
board. Please forward this to your voting members.
I am a Veteran, Businessman, and a Community Leader.
My family moved to Frisco, Denton County, and the North Texas area because of the
opportunities available to my family. These opportunities as we saw them were great
communities to live in, work in, and play in.
These opportunities also included education and the ability for my children to receive a strong
academic foundation with our respective school district before pursuing higher education.
I have always been intellectually curious and enjoy advocating for organizations and people. I
also enjoy solving problems and enjoy working to find solutions, and yet I understand the
economic principle of tradeoffs.
The statutory requirements for central appraisal district board members should be executed
with a pragmatic approach.
I will look for ways to educate the public on process and build relationships; I will use the
same skills I used as a diplomatic advisor overseas to ensure positive impact.
I have attached my resume and a cover letter that will highlight my experiences in the finance,
business development, and military sectors.
Each of these experiences includes the management of large budgets, resource allocation,
compliance, controls, and risk mitigation.
These also include my constant focus on the unintended consequences of decision making
and subsequent impacts.
It would be an honor to advocate for you.
Kindest Regards,
Rob

Dear Neighbor,
Joining the military at 19, I have always had a passion for service, team building, and positive
impact. After over 25 years of military service, I moved m y family to Frisco, Texas, where I built
a network of community volunteers and f ellow veterans to support Scouting, Veteran efforts, and the larger North Texas community . I strive to exemplify the model of public service as a
noble calling. As such, I’m asking that you vote for me to represent you on the Denton Central
Appraisal Board.
I am confident that my leadership and experience in both the military and in industry will have a
positive and lasting impact, as a representative, for your organization. I have managed multi-
million-dollar budgets and have experience with both compliance and risk mitigation. I thrive on relationship building, listening, process improvement, deep analysis, emotional intelligence, and
asking the right questions.
I will approach the duties and responsibilities of a board member, as outlined in Texas Law and
the tax code, with deliberate problem -solving process and stakeholder collaboration. I will look
for ways to seek both process improvement, on the board, and advocate for risk mitigation as
applied to your organization.
Sincerely,
Rob Altman II
Frisco, Texas

Dear leaders in Denton County:
I am writing to bring your attention to recent action taken this week by the Denton County
Commissioners Court concerning the election for the Denton Central Appraisal District
(DCAD) Board of Directors and to encourage you, as a taxing entity of the DCAD, to participate
in the process of selecting the Board.
On Tuesday, November 5th, the Denton County Commissioners Court allocated its votes for
the Denton Central Appraisal District Board of Directors to Alex Buck (200), Ann Pomykal
(200), Rob Altman (91), and Mike Hennefer (91). Attached is the court resolution.
As you know, according to the Texas Tax Code, five directors of the appraisal district board of
directors are appointed by the taxing units that participate in the district. For most taxing
entities, a written resolution casting votes must be passed by your governing body and sent to
the Chief Appraiser by December 13.
In an effort to be of assistance, I have also attached the ballot sent by Don Spencer, Chief
Appraiser for the DCAD, on October 23rd, and the number of votes for each taxing entity.
Denton County taxpayers pay significant amounts of money to fund the appraisal district each
year. Over the past two years, we have made great improvements at DCAD and appreciate the
efforts of the board of directors, DCAD leadership and staff.
We look forward to your participation in this important process and ensuring the Denton
Central Appraisal District remains efficient and effective.
Sincerely,
Andy Eads
Denton County Judge
