Who I Am

Some might consider me just a young and inexperienced man, others confidant and thoughtful; I believe both assessments are true. I am Blake Alter and I am pleased to make your acquaintance. This is a blog about my passion and my hope to make a positive impact on the world around me starting with the true heart of life, local community.

The Alter family has been in Beaumont for many generations, each one doing their best to make Beaumont a wonderful place as. In particular my grandfather was a great man who was a generous, active member of the Beaumont community and business landscape. My hope is to emulate him, through successes and failures, to strive to be as good a man as he was; though as things go if I am counting age I am only a quarter great as my grandfather!

That said, my family is large and varied; all views and opinions here are strictly my own unless otherwise stated so if my words offend you please make that consideration.

Please allow me to walk alongside you and open a dialogue of ideas. There are so many things I want to share with you and so many ways to make an impact that I just cannot side on the sidelines. It is time to roll up my sleeves and make every effort I can and though I am sure to stumble from time to time, I hope to get the scales tipped for the better when all is said and done.

Thank you,
Blake J. Alter
