Anderson has 14 years of experience in human resources and recruiting, and he has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Texas A&M University.

Anderson said that he was pleased to be offered the position. 

"I am excited about the opportunity and appreciate the confidence the city manager has placed in me," Anderson said.  "Our organization faces challenges, both short and long term.

"The Human Resources Department can have a positive impact, and I look forward to providing leadership to that end," he said.
