Andrea Curran: Making Connections That Make a Difference

By Patricia Hudson

While many may associate the name Curran with the flourishing real estate market, the name has come to mean fostering new community relationships and making a positive impact in Cypress. Utilizing social media through videography and Random Acts of Cypress, Andrea Curran is spotlighting locally owned and operated businesses and nonprofit organizations. Andrea and her husband Ty are our featured Cypress family. Andrea graciously agreed to an interview.

We met at Mississippi State University when I was a little sister in his fraternity. We have been married for twelve years and moved to Cypress when we got married because we loved the opportunities for our children in Cy Fair ISD.

I have a Bachelor of Science from Mississippi State and a Masters of Arts from the University of Alabama. Ty holds a Bachelor of Science from Mississippi State. Our older daughter is also a Mississippi State Bulldog. The sound of cowbells is music to all our ears.

I am a real estate broker and founded the Andrea Curran Team with Compass. As a founding Compass agent in Cypress, I was recently added as a founding agent in the newly formed Compass Ranch and Land Division. My team is ranked in the top 1% of the United States by the Wall Street Journal. We recently won an award from the Greater Houston Builders Association. Ty is a chemical engineer and does consulting for oil and gas. His specialty is offshore process.

We have lived in Fairfield since 2009. Our favorite thing about the Fairfield area is the sense of community and the wonderful small businesses that make it unique.

Emily is a junior at Mississippi State University majoring in dairy and animal science, while planning a doctorate degree in equine reproduction. She is on the equestrian team. Leah is a student at Salyards Middle School. She enjoys competitive dance with Fairfield Dance Center. This is

Leah’s fourth year to be in the Fairfield Dance Company competitive team. Brant and Hanna Schomburg round out our family. Brant and Hanna have twin baby girls. They live in Alabama where they spend their time chasing babies who have just learned to walk.

We love supporting Cypress Lucky Mutt Rescue, Child Advocates, and Cy-Hope. Each of these organizations make a real difference. Sharing the needs and events of the non-profits in our Cypress community helps to unite us all.

Finding intentional downtime and family time can be challenging with our schedules. With our busy schedules, we have learned to be intentional in planning time together.

Our very favorite thing to do is go to Mississippi State Football games. We also love camping, boating, and fishing. Emily and I love horses and try to ride any chance we get, which is a lot more often for Emily than for me. One of our favorite activities through the years has been watching Emily compete in horse shows, ride with a mounted drill team and watch Leah dance. We also love to travel together, especially for anything outdoors like snow skiing, boating, the beach or the mountains. Now that we have babies in the family, watching them grow is amazing for all of us.

People are surprised to learn that we own four dogs and five horses. Through the years, we have at times had as many as 13 animals in our family at one time.

I love outdoor sports and activities, when I have time away from work. Ty loves SEC sports and live music.

Living in the Fairfield area and raising our family here has been the best decision we have ever made. The opportunities for our children, and the relationships we have built mean the world to us. We cannot imagine living anywhere else.
