I’m Lisa Stringfellow, and I’ve proudly called Gilroy home since 1987. Originally from the East Coast, I put down roots here and never looked back, raising three children, welcoming four grandchildren (with one more on the way), and becoming deeply woven into the fabric of this community.
Over the years, I’ve stayed actively involved in what makes Gilroy special. I served as President of the Gilroy Exchange Club, an organization dedicated to inspiring communities to become better places to live, supported local business as an active member of the Chamber of Commerce, and served on the public arts committee, driving the project that brought Gilroy’s downtown historical sculptures to life. Gilroy isn’t just where I live. It’s a community I’ve helped build.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me catching live music and enjoying food trucks at our local wineries, or meeting friends at a favorite coffee shop. I love walking and hiking the trails that wind through South County. And one of the best-kept secrets of living here? We’re just over the hill from the stunning coastline of Watsonville, Aptos, and Santa Cruz and a short drive in the other direction puts you in Monterey and Carmel.
