Thomas Patrick Cusick Jr. (born February 13, 1953) is a businessman,
rancher, and Texas land developer. He and George Strait purchased and developed Tapatio Springs Resort and Golf Course (Boerne, Texas).[1][2][3][4]
Early life
Thomas Patrick Cusick, Jr., was born on February 13, 1953, to Thomas Patrick Cusick and Ann Leath Cusick in
bulldogging at the Gillette, Wyoming Rodeo in 1949. He later became an oil drilling rig worker, then worked in the insurance business until his retirement.[5]
Cusick was drafted out of high school by the University of Texas, and subsequently earned a BBA in Accounting
at UTSA.
Business
Cusick formed Benefit Planners (BPI), Inc., a third-party insurance administrator company, after leaving
CIGNA.[6] During this time, Cusick also formed The Preferred Health Arrangement, a Preferred Provider Organization and National Stop Loss Associates, a broker for re-insurance and other excess lines. In 1995, BP Risk Management was formed to provide employee benefit needs by handling workers compensation. In 1996 Cusick was honored as Entrepreneur of the Year in the service category and, in 2002, Benefit Planners was named the #1 Call Center of the Year in Central Texas, topping USAA and Southwestern Bell (now AT&T). In 2001, Cusick sold Benefit Planners and affiliates to Fiserv, and remained with the company until 2003.[7][6]
In 2003, Cusick purchased 1,000 acres of land, and parceled "Estancia at Thunder Valley" into 65 homesites, what he termed "the perfect community to raise a family in.
