Pete Winstead has a vendetta
against Central Texas' transportation snags. The
attorney, a partner in the Austin office of law firm
Winstead Sechrest & Minick PC, first witnessed losing
businesses to other cities as chamber president in 1997
-- particularly when Dell Inc. decided to locate its
second manufacturing operation in Tennessee.
The move was a major blow to
Winstead, who also had done consulting work with Dell.
He is the personal attorney for Chairman and CEO Michael
Dell.
Since then, Winstead created
Citizens for Mobility, a
privately financed advocacy group. Winstead has
dedicated his free time to galvanizing the business
community to act on the region's transportation woes.
"He's dogged in his
efforts," Christian says. |
