Amber was born and raised in Arlington, Texas. After graduating from Texas Wesleyan University in 2009, she went on to join the Aggie Network by graduating from Texas A&M University School of Law in 2015, where she served as the President of the Student Bar Association.  She opened the Law Offices of M. Amber Barger in 2018, which provides business and real estate services to entities throughout North Texas and Oklahoma.

Amber and her husband, Alex, welcomed their first child in November of 2021, so most of her free time is dedicated to hanging out at the local zoos and parks. When she isn’t spending time with family, she works with cat rescue programs and practices her longtime hobby of belly dancing.  Amber is also an avid traveler and has visited 23 countries so far. Amber’s favorite Aggie tradition is the Aggie Ring.  Having an Aggie ring is an immediate symbol of camaraderie with other current and former Aggies, and reminds her of the community and her time spent as a student.

Originally from the DFW metroplex (Irving, TX), Stephanie is a recovering Dallas native and new Tarrant County transplant after moving back following a 3-year stint in her home away from home, Bryan/College Station, where she was heavily involved with the local business community, Texas A&M, and the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship. Before moving to Aggieland, Stephanie was in public education for 13 years (the first of many plot twists in her life), earning her master’s in education and one pesky dissertation away from her educational doctorate.

Taking the largest leap of faith in her life to date, she resigned from education in 2018 to start her own business, one that would take on many forms including, but not limited to: graphic design, branding, web design, brand and business strategy, business and life coaching, and fractional Chief Strategy and Chief Operations Officer services. She is currently focusing on her role as a Neurodiversity and ADHD Strategist, transforming the ADHD narrative through innovative neuroleadership coaching, education, and the potential magic of animal-assisted therapy for middle and high school students and their parents, college students, and businesses/organizations.

Class of 2003, Stephanie graduated from Texas A&M University with a BBA in Marketing and was a Fish Camp Counselor, member of Dance Arts Society, founding officer of Nu Delta Alpha, founding member of Rugby Little Sisters, volunteer during the inaugural years of CARPOOL, and frequent equine science class crasher. Her favorite current tradition is the Aggie Ring, knowing that whenever/wherever another one is near, you are in the presence of family and never alone. It’s Stephanie’s first year with the Fort Worth A&M Club and serving on the board, and she can’t wait to be surrounded by new and old Aggie family! 

Born and raised in Fort Worth, Robert is a proud Arlington Heights Yellow Jacket, member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of 2012, and Partner with Tack Advisors in Fort Worth. 

He started his career in financial services after spending his early post-grad years in hospitality management in restaurants and private clubs. His passion for building strong relationships and serving others has been a constant theme throughout his life and he has found a natural home in his practice of helping private clients and businesses clarify what’s important to them about money and creating a holistic plan to guide them towards their goals.

Outside of the Fort Worth A&M Club, Robert also serves as Chair of the Leadership Team for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Visionaries of the Year campaign and as a member of SteerFW, a non-profit civic engagement organization. He enjoys live music, cooking, getting outdoors, and spending time with friends and family. Robert’s favorite A&M tradition is the Aggie Ring – nothing compares to being able to connect with a stranger just from a simple piece of jewelry.
