The Lewisville Texan Journal

Steve Southwell is the publisher and currently the writer of many of the news stories published in the Lewisville Texan Journal. Southwell writes opinion pieces from a “pragmatic progressive” point of view in The Editor’s Column, but works to keep it objective on original coverage of local news and events. Born and raised in Waco, Texas, Southwell attended the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science in Denton. After spending time in the U.S. Marine Corps, rising to the rank of Sergeant, he obtained a BBA from the University of North Texas. By day, Southwell is an information technology consultant specializing in web applications. When he’s not on the road, working for a client, Steve lives in Lewisville with his wife Jennifer (Fluffy) and two sons. His hobbies are playing guitar, drinking beer, singing karaoke, writing, and shooting – though not all at once.

Jennifer Southwell (Mamask8z – A.K.A. “Fluffy”) is an Associate Editor, occasionally writing columns, but quite often working to keep your Editor honest and fair. Jennifer is the best Licensed Massage Therapist in Lewisville with her own studio in the same office building as the Lewisville Texan Journal’s headquarters. Raised in Lewisville, and Pilot Point, Jennifer earned a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from the University of North Texas. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Keep Lewisville Beautiful. Jennifer’s hobbies are running, and flat track roller derby, which she writes about from time to time. She is married to Steve (WhosPlayin) and has two sons attending Lewisville schools.
